A real eye-opener
|
|
I picked this book up more out of curiosity and a certain nostalgia for childhood camping trips than any real interest but quickly found myself thinking `I want to go there...and there...AND there...AND THERE!' There are some really interesting places in the book - not just glam camping stuff like tipis and yurts but honest-to-God, back to nature sites that remind you of what camping ought to be like. Really good photography and quirky (sometimes a bit too quirky?) writing make it a real eye-opener. Can't wait for summer and a ferry over to France!

Cool Camping France
|
These guys seriously dominate the camping book scene, and this is the best book by far out of everything I've used to plan my trip to France. I've stopped looking at my other ones cos they're boring.
The pictures are awesome and their reviews are like talking to a old mate. Totally recommend this book to anyone cool enough, and Cool Camping England is also a good buy for some awesome weekends away closer to home.

Cool Camping: France
|
I love this book!
It's full of variety, from staying in tipis in central france, to lush open spaces where you can pitch your tent by the sea. There are loads of gorgeous photos that make you want to be outside, and the reviews are personal and funny which is a refreshing change from the soulless camping / carvanning guides out there. There's also extra practical info like 'food and drink' recommendations and options of other places to stay 'if it's full', really handy if you've not done much research before heading off.
Would definitely recommend this book to anyone. I was a hotel comforts girl, but now I'm a camping convert, and off to France this summer!
