About the Author
Richards, Anna: - "Anna Richards lives in Lyon and must be the most insular travel writer out there - she only writes about France. Although the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes is her base, she spends much of her time haring across the country in every direction, often with a badly behaved French dog in tow. She's won several awards for her work, which has been featured (online and in print) in the BBC, Condé Nast Traveller, National Geographic and many others. In addition to updating the Rough Guides to Brittany and Normandy and Dordogne and the Lot, she's the author of Paddling France for Bradt Guides.
"Guides, Rough: - Rough Guides are written by expert authors who are passionate about both writing and travel. They have detailed knowledge of the areas they write about--having either traveled extensively or lived there--and their expertise shines through on every page. It's priceless information, delivered with wit and insight, providing the down-to-earth, honest read that is the hallmark of Rough Guides.
