This pocket-sized full-colour guide is designed for short-break holidays around Nice with a gastronomic touch. Even if you're not a walker, it's worth having just for the restaurant suggestions, the excursions & the information about local food. The book describes two excursions for all-comers (including the superb narrow-gauge Train de Pignes into the hinterland), plus 12 easy to moderate walks in or easily accessible from Nice, all illustrated with 1:35, 000 topographical maps. Each excursion or walk recommends at least one restaurant en route serving local cuisine, with photograph, price guide, opening times, sample menus, & recipes for some of their specialities. Other sections include: planning your trip, getting about, food shopping (including health foods & local markets), glossary of food terms & restaurant mini-vocabulary. A special feature is the emphasis on natural local foods suitable for those with food intolerances. All recipes have been made by the authors & are known to 'work'. On-line updates keep readers abreast of route/restaurant changes.
