Are you drawn to France again and again? Does the idea of visiting
just the right Parisian bistro, or sunning lazily on the most glamorous Riviera
beach, or discovering a secret corner of the Camargue sound immensely appealing
to you? Then you must experience The Sophisticated Guide to France!
La Belle France is a lively, monthly newsletter whose sole aim
for the last twenty-three years has been to unlock and explore the French hotel,
restaurant, and country retreat scene and then report back about what is and is
not worth your time and money.
How is La Belle France superior to standard travel guide
and travel magazine fare?
|
1. La Belle France does not
indiscriminately list every available option; our editors meticulously weed through
the myriad of hotel and restaurant options in order to recommend only the truly
extraordinary.
2. Because we are a small,
monthly publication, we can publish breaking news of openings, closings, renovations,
and any other valuable travel information ... more quickly and thus more accurately
than our larger, more cumbersome competitors.
3. Unlike travel magazines
brimming with glossy advertisements, La Belle France accepts no advertising whatsoever
... thus ensuring that our writers and editors are beholden to no one and can assess
venues free from any agenda other than to provide the most honest, uncompromised,
and discriminating reviews possible.
4. Because La Belle France's
writers and editors travel to venues anonymously and pay full fare, they receive
unbiased treatment from staff, assuring reviews of the same service a La Belle France
reader would receive.

La Belle France digs deep, making the culinary experience come
alive by profiling the chefs, providing detailed descriptions of menu selections,
and evaluating the wine cellar. With a five-part numerical evaluation on Cuisine,
Decor, Service, Wine List, and Overall Value, La Belle France makes the adventure
of trying a new restaurant virtually risk-free!
The same holds true in our hotel evaluations. Where will you be
treated like a celebrity - and where will you be treated like help? Which Left Bank
hotel rooms are not too small? And in which hotels do you need to ask for a courtyard
room due to street noise?

Where can you find charm without a giant price tag, and a luxury perfectly matched
with exemplary service? La Belle France tells you. |
While La Belle France prides itself on discovering gems off the
beaten track, it also keeps a critical eye sharply focused upon the most famous
hotels, restaurants, and buzz-generating newcomers - establishments that in other
publications might only receive undiluted praise, even after they no longer deserve
it.
Your vacation is simply too valuable to waste a single minute at the wrong destination.
A subscription to La Belle France strives to ensure that its readers, in their travels,
avoid the mediocre and enjoy only the truly exalted! Truly, La Belle France pays
for itself time after time by saving you from costly and vacation-wasting mistakes!
La Belle France has been published monthly since 1984. Each issue includes eight
pages of reviews, black-and-white photographs of featured establishments, locator
maps, plus cultural calendars and timely travel tips and advisories.
We guarantee your satisfaction with this unique publication!
