Intelligent and fun - By: Pardo, 04 Jan 2008 
I have to disagree with the previous reviewer. I've always found the Cadogan guides written by Facaros & Pauls brilliant. Yes, they lack the pictures that you getin an Eyewitness guide, for example, but they more than make up for thatin the quality of the text: it is detailed without being heavy, & fun without being stupid. To me, they strike the right balance between historical & architectural information & foodie indulgence. I bought this to replace my copy of the third edition which has now fallen apart through over use. I rate their stuff so highly that I now look to see if they have written a guide to a place I intend to visit. In a perfect world I'd have one of these & a corresponding Eyewitness guide - but if I only had roomin my bag for one it would always be the Cadogan guide. Apart from the fact that the Eyewitness ones are heavy because of the glossy paper, the textin the Cadogan guides is vastly more entertaining.
Dull - By: Stephen Field, 15 Nov 2007 
Although I like to know factual information & happy to read about placesin a travel guide - I do also expect a number of photos of what to expect. This guide is almost completely devoid of any!
I dare say it is very useful if you are already familiar with the Dordgne etc. but I certainly wouldnt recomend it for a first visit to the area
