Product Description
It's no surprise that France ranks among the world's most popular tourist destinations. This large and sparsely populated country has it all—a fascinating historical legacy, a gastronomic culture that is unsurpassed, and a tradition of good living that remains remarkably unaltered by the stresses of modern life. And France's scenery is spectacular, with mountains and marshlands, gorges and rolling countryside, and a coastline ranging from the rugged shores of Brittany to the benign and jewel-bright playgrounds of the Mediterranean. All this, naturally enough, means there is an unparalleled choice of world-class places to medieval châteaux, rural farmhouses, alpine chalets, grand city hotels, and—of course—the very latest in interior design. Hip France presents the traveler with the most authentically individual hotels that the country has to offer. Choose between the ornate style of colonial Indochina or the ultrachic pared-down touch of Christian Liaigre, a fisherman's hut on the south Atlantic coast or the hip modernity of Le Corbusier's Unité d'Habitation in Marseille, long a Mecca for devotees of modernist architecture and now partially converted into a hotel. Some hotels are established, some virtually unknown, but every one is a unique response to the geography, culinary culture, and design heritage of its particular location. So whether you are an adventurer, a gourmet, or a design aficionado, this third volume in the phenomenally successful Hip Hotels series is guaranteed to lure you away to explore every corner of France. 387 color and 151 b/w photographs.
