The lonely planet guide book range soon found it's way to one of the cultural centres of Europe. France has long been regarded in high stead, from its illustrious art galleries to its fine wines and even finer dining, France is somewhere that should be on any travellers itinerary.
While I personally avoid the fabled city of Paris after several visits and insurmountable disappointments I have found that the west coast of France is sublime, and the southern areas hold some fantastic beaches.
Fortunately however the Lonely Planet Guide to France available form our Store for less than $2 and provides a much more in depth look to the vineyards and cheese mongers of the most beautiful of European countries. I personally would suggest La Rochelle to anyone, the people are friendly and helpful, the beaches are beautiful and well maintained and the Cognac from close by is to die for!
The Lonely Planet guide to France will make your trip to France more enjoyable and entertaining, with details on the local customs, things you must see, wherever you go, and plenty of tips to ensure your visit to France gives you a holiday you will never forget!

Lonely Planet New Zealand Travel Guide Review
New Zealand is near the top of the list for countries I want to visit, the land of glorious beaches, romantic sunsets, beautiful surf and of course, sheep.
New Zealand is home to some of the most fantastic terrain you could ever wish to find, with its rolling green hills inter spaced by mountainous regions and surrounded by golden sand and deep blue sea. Around the country lie several cities, from the capital , wellington over to Auckland, the larget city in New Zealand. In any of these you will find a vibrant nightlife, huge amounts of local culture and a deep insight into the relaxed Kiwi way of life. Yes I can safely say that I want to visit this New Zealand, preferably in the next couple of years.
The Lonely Planet guide book for New Zealand covers everything you will need to know when travelling around this country, with 128 detailed maps you will have a hard time getting lost in this paradise. It also provides fantastic advice on eating out, with New Zealand having some of the finest seafood menus in the world.
Once you know where you are and have had some authentic kiwi cuisine the guide book will provide an abundance of information for you, whether it be sightseeing, trekking or even tramping around, it will tell you where to go to have a good time, what sights Must be seen and where you can find them.
Of course as always the Lonely planet guide goes one step further.
The Maori culture is an integral part of New Zealand, these are the natives of this island Paradise, living there since around 1200 AD, and though the past has littered the island with relics from the New Zealand wars (between the Maori and the European Colonists) They now live side by side in relative peace. The Lonely Planet Guide Book for New Zealand provides great insight into finding historic Maori settlements and meeting the natives, who will be more than happy to welcome you to their daily lives.
Once you have seen the Jaw dropping terrain, lived with native Maori tribesmen and feasted on some of the most delicious sea food you would ever find you would not be blamed for thinking you had made the most of New Zealand. It's not all over just yet though!
The Lonely planet guide lists some of the best areas for the thrill seekers among you, from bungee jumping to surfing New Zealand has a massive adrenaline culture. Many people go to the land of the Kiwi for just one thing. White Water Rafting. Some of the most famous kayaking and rafting trails are in New Zealand, with some of the worlds fastest most dangerous river routes, if of course the lounging in the sun kissed golden sand is not enough adventure for you!
Of course New Zealand is not just for the holiday maker. With some of the worlds most clashing scenery providing a huge number of different environments it is no surprise that New Zealand is host to a huge number of unique flora and fauna spread over the countries glacier carved mountains to the hot thermal springs.
New Zealand is definitely worth a visit, and the Lonely Planet Guidebook for New Zealand will help get the best out of the country for you. Buy it Here

Introduction to the Lonely Planet Guide Book Store
For several years I have been writing a personal blog (Ramblings of an Office Worker)
Recently however I rediscovered the travelling bug Big Time. After a 2 week roadtrip around Europe I yet again found my love of exploring new places, seeng new things and most of all meeting new people.
To catalogue my travels I set up my new travelling blog, Wannabe Traveller and set up this very blog to review Lonely Planet Guide Books for the places I visit and want to visit. If you have found this site looking to buy guide books, lonely planet or otherwise, please take a look at my Guide Book Store. Any proceeds made from this will go to a travelling fund to send me on a round the world adventure!
