Product Description
Beautifully illustrated as well as informative, One Hundred & One Beautiful Towns in France: Food and Wine explores the local delicacies of a country known for and proud of its love of food and wine. Organized by region, this book features a wonderful sampling of French plaisirs de la table and the shops and markets where you can find them. The classic dishes and drink of France are as remarkably varied as its many different regions: Quench your thirst with a glass of calvados, the heady apple brandy that Normandy is known for; reach "land’s end" or Finistère, in Brittany, and enjoy a galette, a savory buckwheat crêpe stuffed with ham and cheese or mushrooms and lobster; don’t miss the vendange (harvest) in romantic Burgundy or a simple, hearty meal of boeuf bourguignon; in scenic Alsace enjoy a piping-hot flammekueche, a tart of local cheeses, speck, and onions. A thorough appendix provides useful addresses and phone numbers to accommodate planning your trip, including hotel listings, restaurants, wineries, and shops. Sidebars give information on local delicacies to be tasted and imbibed, as well as where to find the choicest goods.

Un beau livre!!
This is a great addition to the coffee table book lover's collection and a great gift for the Foodie/Gourmand. You can't help but have an appreciation for France's time-honored traditions of enjoying good food and good wine. The regions of France are mapped out for you with a guide to which towns are highlighted in the book. Used as a quick reference book, you can quickly find out which epicurean delight any of the regions are best known for. Address, telephone and website information is also provided for a variety of stores, hotels and restaurants for each town featured. You can easily lose yourself in this book with stunning photography and well written descriptions. If you've been to France - you'll want to go back. If you've never been to France, you will want to go for sure. This could be the foodie's travel guide to France.
