Review by Library Journal Review
France is ideally suited to walking explorations with its extensive French Path System, 110,000 miles of off-road foot paths created and maintained by France's national organization, Federation Fran?aise de la Randonnee Pedestre (FFRP), to promote walking. In their latest walking travel book, authors Gillian and John Souter (Classic Walks in Western Europe) detail numerous city, daylong, and multiday walks around France in cities like Paris and Toulouse and country areas such as Brittany, the Pyrenees, and Corsica. The authors' walking narratives include historical and architectural information complemented with lovely photographs and notes regarding difficulty levels, distances, and time estimates. The only real drawback here is a lack of extensive accommodation and dining information and more detailed maps. Still, this work is well organized and well sized for carrying along and consulting. Recommended for all libraries with European travel collections.-Louise Feldmann, Colorado State Univ., Fort Collins (c) Copyright 2010.
