Most books on travel shelves are either long on the nitty-gritty and short on evocative photographs, or the other way around. We at Fodor's think the balance in this slim volume is just perfect, rather like the intersection of the most luscious magazine article and a sensible, down-to-earth guidebook. On the road, the useful pages at the end of the book are practically all you need. For the planning, roam through the color photographs up front: Each one reveals a key facet of one stunning section of the Riviera, conveying a sense of place that will take you there before you go. Each page opens up an exceptional Riviera experience; each spread highlights the spirit of the coast at its purest.

Forget your projects and deadlines. And escape to the Riviera. You owe it to yourself.
