Two rivers linking two of France's best-known regions, which have long delighted those who appreciate the good things in life: Burgundy and Provence. All along the banks, you will encounter the same passion for wine, the same love of art and culture: Roman remains, Romanesque churches and abbeys, medieval castles, not to mention the colourful markets, their stalls overflowing with luscious sun-ripened produce. Between the two, the proud city of Lyon leaves no one indifferent, with its striking buildings, its silk-manufacturing heritage and a worship of good food.

From Acapulco to the Yucatan peninsula, from Chihuahua to Chiapas, Mexico has it all: pre-Columbian pyramids, graceful colonial churches, sun-drenched beaches, volcanoes, tropical forests, deserts -- and at the centre of it all, the melting pot that is Mexico City. Buzzing with life and packed with colour and charm, Mexico mixes a rich past with an exciting present. Readable and practical, this guide explores the history and culture of this fabulous country.
