Comprehensive Guide
I bought this guide (along with a couple of others, Cool Camping, Alan Rogers and Caravan Club Europe 1 as a comparison) while planning a trip to France during summer 2009.

The book is sorted by region and town with an alphabetical index of all locations by name in the back pages. The description of each site is given by various icons and some text in French. There is a listing of these words in the book to help with translation and for those words that aren't covered there's always Google! Even for non-French speakers, it's easy to pick up the words as the same ones as used on most sites and if you're considering going to France it's worth picking up a few local words - it can only make life and your trip easier. If you want plain English on the site description then you might be better off going for the Alan Rogers guide though it doesn't have as many entries as this guide. The Caravan Club guide has quite a few entries though they use abbreviations within the description (with an index of these in the front pages).

I can't call this guide a 'bible' to all sites as I did find some villages with sites missing though they do include a lot of the commercial and municipal sites. This guide would be very useful to carry with you while travelling as you could look up sites in the area you are travelling to.

A basic map is included for each region, good enough to give an indication of where the site is located. The description of each site does include a reference to other more detailed Michelin maps (no surprise there).

Camping France 2009 (Michelin Camping Guides)
An excellent publication which offers the discerning French traveller information about the value for money municipal sites in both the large towns and smaller villages.

Camping in France
This is a really excellent guide. We have used these guides for thirty years and would not go camping in France without an up to date copy.
