Michelin Classics.......2005-08-31

Unfortunately it seems 2002 print is the latest available at present, which means some admission times and charges are no more correct. Nevertheless, it is a guidebook with the standard Green Guide outlay with lots of town plans, suggested tours (both in towns and across region) and the easy-to-find alphabetical list of sights. What I didn't like is the index where sights (castles, villages) described within proposed tours are often missing and there is no simple way to find them in the guidebook. This is a flaw that I met in several other Michelin Green Guides I used in the past. On the good side, information is mostly adequately detailed and with a car driver in mind (positions of car parks on the maps, road numbers etc).

I LIVE IN FRANC E- GREEN GUIDES ALWAYS RELIABLE.......2005-05-20

I have lived in France for over two years, and have traveled to over 50 places all over the country.

I have chosen the Provence Green Guide to review because it's my favorite region; though all of the guides are similar. I might also mention that I have not actually seen the English version of the Green Guide - I only use the French ones.

That being said, I have tried and looked at MANY guides of France. The Green Guide (or Guide Vert) is the best for FRANCE. For other countries this is not the case.

The maps are useful; the rating system is very, very useful (and pretty close in my opinion); and the sites they recommend are very good. There is also a recommended walking path for each city map - a sort of top place to walk around if you are rushed, during a train layover for example. The many photos of sites, buildings, and cities is nice; they are often a critical deciding factor in my travel choices. Though more often than not the photos dont do justice to the quality of the fantastic places in France.

There are a few things of course i don't like (in terms of selections of sites et al) but nothing is perfect.

Since the Green Guide is from a French company (Michelin) obviously they can get a lot of good information and insight into the guides. Best of all, they have a regional focus. Since I live in France, my need for a national book is minimal; I only go to more or less one region at a time over a long weekend or week.

The Green Guides let me take my time, give me travel ideas that a France-wide guide would not give, and is pretty reliable.

On a separate note, i do not use any of the times for the sites; in France, opening times are unreliable. You are best off using the net or just taking your chances.

In the end, whatever your guide, France is a fantastic country for tourism and it's also wonderful to live in.

Useful overview.......2003-02-18

The green guide for Provence provides a very useful overview, along with pertinent information such as opening/closing times (the Pont du Gard at opening, approx 7:30 am, is not to be missed--marvel in the silence). Used it, along with Rick Steves's France guide in 01, and will use both again in 03.

some like it plain.......2001-03-26

Having just returned form a brief sojourn outside of Avignon(one of numerous visits over the years to the South of France) I found the Green Guide as indispensable as ever.

These oddly shaped, distinctive volumes dispel whatever remains of Peter Mayle's cute and condescending presentation of the region. Here instead is an ancient and noble land of sunlight and wind, which has created strangely shaped stones and mountains surrounding ancient olive groves,endless vineyards, wide rivers, and more Roman remains than can be found in Rome. The magical Middle Ages are here, too, as well as the quintessential visions of Cezanne, the native son, and Van Gogh, the wandering Dutchman. As your eyes do the looking, this highly useful green book will filll you in with all the information you will need on plants, stones (manbuilt and otherwise) weather,rivers, geology, and above all history.

What you see around you is explicated with an appropriate Gallic resserve, accuracy and precision, so that you can meditate on the land without any editorial interference. The format of the Green Guides is unique, reflecting their self-confidence that, like Popeye, and all unique creations, they are what they are.

And the small maps included in the descriptions of many of the most important sites are, as befitting a maker of tires and maps, perfect. If you love France, you will love this book and all the others defining that land for travelers from near and far.

Helpful.......2007-08-28

This is a good book as long as you have someone that you can work with. I had a partner but no longer and my friends can tell I haven't gotten much better since then, can't hear out loud.

Not what I expected, and NOT for new students of the language.......2007-03-20

I recently jumped head-first into learning German, and purchased this book along with the Pimsleur Conversational German 16-CD set. I cannot get enough of the CD's, but this book is really poor in my opinion. I was hoping the book would be a good reference companion to the CD's in order to help clarify some things, but no dice. It should be noted that the copyright date on this book is 1950, which becomes very evident within the first few pages. Much of the phrases and words are very outdated and are barely used in Germany anymore. Some of the phrases presented in this book didn't even make sense to my German friend who lived in Germany most of her life! For instance, WHY would I need to learn "I shall get up early, so to speak with the chickens"? or "In the department store, you ask for the department store you are looking for"? I'm not kidding, this and other useless, outdated phrases are liberally strewn throughout this book. If you want to take a trip back in time, and already know German, this book 'may' be refreshing. If you're trying to learn the language on your own, and want to actually understand how to speak German like someone born within the last 40 years, I would look for something else. (I'd HIGHLY recommend audio tapes or CD's where you can HEAR someone speaking the language and practice with them. It worked wonders for me!)

Besser gibt's nicht!.......2005-06-25

I have lived in Germany about 10 years now and this is without a doubt THE best book I have found. As a person still learning (aren't we all?) and a German instructor the format used in the book is very fitting. You learn German like a young child would. The horrible grammer is slowly interjected as you progress. Certainly a two-thumbs-up book!

Sehr Gut!.......2005-04-23

This book is very good. I am currently learning German with a friend and am a complete beginner. This starts off well, teching you feminine, neuter, and masculine tenses and throwing in vocabulary, and 5 new numbers a lesson. All the lessons are formatted around a theme. However, the pronunciation guide in the beginning is a little lacking and, if you are teaching yourself, you will need to get a couple other books. I also recommend Joseph Rosenburg's German: How to Speak and Write it, German in 10 minutes a day by Kristine Kershul, and a good dictionary.

The Best for What it Does.......2004-11-28

About 20 years ago, I was stationed with the Army at Redstone Arsenal, AL, and was issued orders to go to Germany. Not wanting to show up there a total ignoramus (like the man said, "When in Rome..."), so I bought this book and devoured it. When I showed up at my duty station in Heilbronn, I was able to get by pretty well, and after another couple weeks, I found my accent getting better. The German phonetic pronunciations are very good, and I was able to be understood by Schwabians and Ostfriesians alike.

After I was there a few weeks, I was required to enroll in the Army's German Headstart program, a one-week class to learn common German phrases, such as asking traffic directions and how to order from a German menu. There was not one question I did not know the answer to, and when called upon, I was able to answer intuitively. The teacher asked me how I learned German so well, and I told her that I had been studying the Berlitz Self-Teacher for a couple months. She remarked that she had run across many soldiers who learned to speak conversational German by studying this excellent book.

What makes the Berlitz Self-Teacher the best primer for learning German I ever had is that it is methodical and deals with everyday conversation. It was never meant to be a fully comprehensive volume on the German language or a grammar guide, but it is the best springboard I know for launching one into the language, and I've used at least a dozen similar books.

It's one alleged drawback is that it teaches many antiquated words and phrases, but that is also its charm: I had no problem being understood by older or educated people. (Do people make the complaint about Hemingway that its English is 50 years out of vogue, or is he recognized still as the great wordsmith and scribe that he was?)

Further, the Berlitz method gives you enough basic vocabulary to understand the language and once you get halfway through it, the rest will come to you by assimilating words and phrases you are now able to understand from being among the people, watching TV (or, "Telewision" or "Tee Wee" as some Germans call it) or reading the newspapers.

I also like that it teaches in the formal ("Sie") rather than the familiar ("Du") sense. It made a very nice impression on my girlfriend's parents, that I had learned all the social niceties, and was more respectful than most German youth my own age. Some of today's German phrase and "learn German in 15 minutes a day" type traveller's books dispense too readily with the formal, which I think is a big mistake, particularly for American speakers. It is bad enough that too many misinformed Europeans think of us as "ugly Americans," that is, informal and ill-mannered, but we don't need our language instruction to aid in this disinformation campaign!

Starting with this book is both a good icebreaker for getting acquainted with the good-natured German and for staying out of hot water with the occasional more stuffy Germans, who haven't any sense of humor.

From my experience, and from the experiences of friends and acquaintances, I've found that the best way to warm up to the Germans is to show respect for their language, by putting forth an honest attempt to communicate in it. This book is the best place to begin because it is well-mannered and polite.
