Nearly excellent - Rated One of the enjoyments of any holiday for me is buying the guide books in advance and reading them in bed last thing at night for at least the month before going away! Being restricted by weight considerations (flying) to how many I could take with me on holiday with me this summer, after much reading I ended up taking the Rough Guides to (1) the Dordogne and the Lot and (2) Languedoc and Rousillon. They were both very helpful and the highlight was undoubtedly reading the section on Montsegur and its lost treasures to my companions as we surveyed the "pog" and fortifications on a pleasant Sunday evening with no tourists! Well worth the detour - although we decided we weren't upto the climb to the top. However, I did search for two restuarants - one in Carcassone and one in Lautrec - which could not be found. I came to the conclusion that they may have closed or changed owners/names - or the directions needed to be improved. A great travelling companion! - Rated I used this guide when driving around this area of France this summer and found that not only did it provide accurate factual information, but that it also captured the atmosphere of the area. It covers individual towns and villages in sufficient detail that you do not need to get individual guides, and the coverage ranges from describing the architectural features of a building to where you can go white water rafting. I went to several of the hotels and restaurants mentioned in the guide and these had been accurately described and the prices in the guide were up-to-date. The guide has a very helpful section on local food and wine, so that you can understand exactly what the regional specialities are before you order them. I do however have one criticism: I did not find the maps of the city centres easy to follow. If you are driving around this area, the green Michelin guide is also very informative and suggests lots of good routes along country roads.
