Disappointing (2/6 people found this helpful)
The entry for Cannes is very disappointing in terms of restaurants. The food and the service in la Liberia is at best indifferent and it is definitely not worth a visit; for an excellent (if slightly pricey Italian) visit the exceptionally busy Vesuvio on La Croisette, near the Martinez. Unaccountably, no mention is made of Gastoun Gastounette, one of the best restaurants in the town, despite the fact that it is virtually next door to the La Pizza, which is mentioned, in quai St-Pierre. The entry for Le 72 Croisette is grossly exaggerated: there is no need to battle through any hordes - it is at least half empty most of the time and you would find it difficult to see anyone going into the Martinez as you would need X-ray vision to see through several sets of parked cars. I'm sorry I bought this book.
Everything you need (and more!) (35/37 people found this helpful)
This book is all you need for a weekend in Nice or a trek through the Camargue. If you want detailed historical information then you would be better with a "Cadogan" guide, but for an up to date, spot on resource "Time out" comes up trumps as usual. This book gives you a more than adequate amount of background information alongside excellent reviews of hotels, restaurants and things to see. As a tour guide this book is always in my bag when I travel to the south of France!
