| France has it all—a rich history, an incredibly varied geography, a gastronomic culture that is unsurpassed, and a tradition of good living that remains blissfully untainted by the stresses of modern life. It also offers an unparalleled choice of world-class places to stay—from medieval chateaux and grand city hotels to rural farmhouses and Alpine chalets—and, of course, the very latest in interior design.
Hip Hotels: France brings together the most authentically individual of these hotels in the country's choicest destinations. Choose the futuristic vision of Jean Nouvel or the hearty hospitality of an Alpine farmhouse, a remote fortress on the Breton coast or the hip modernity of Le Corbusier's Unite d'Habitation in Marseilles, a Mecca for devotees of modernist architecture.
So whether you are an adventurer, a gourmet or a design aficionado—or all of the above—Hip Hotels: France will enable you to plan your itinerary through city, town, coast and countryside. This third volume in the phenomenally successful Hip Hotels series is once more guaranteed to set you dreaming. It has all the glamour of CITY and all the variety of ESCAPE—all in one amazing country. |
