This is not a guide
This very lovely book came highly recommended. It arrived today, and I'm sorry I ordered it. It's beautiful, with gorgeous pictures on extremely heavy stock and meandering (slow?) prose about the inns. But that's all it is. And it's far too heavy to take along, so i guess the idea is that one reads it at home before making reservations at the inns. OK. But be aware that this is not a guide book. There's no restaurant information, which I fully expected (the slow food movement) and was disappointed not to find. No information about how to get wherever from Paris, say. Very limited.

Go Slow France
Received this book as a gift. Lovely photos and a good amount of information to help you make a decision on where to stay. I cross referenced with reviews on TripAdvisor. The two places reviewed that we chose to stay in were fabulous!Both memorable and worth every penny we paid. I immediately came home and ordered the other books in the Go Slow series.
