Summary: Even I don't like my Champagne this dry
Review: This travel book on the Champagne and Burgundy regions of France is certainly not what one would call "user-friendly." I found myself often bored with the tedium of the prose. Champagne-Ardennes & Burgundy took the fun away from my plans to visit the Champagne houses, and instead turned it into work. Many authors of travel books take the time to break topics up into themes, with titles and clues to help the reader find what he is looking for. Our authors, unfortunately, have not. (Champagne for Dummies, while only devoting one chapter to traveling in the Champagne, was far more enlightening, simply because it was a pleasure to read.) While I am sure that there is much information I will pull from this book for my trip, I will continue to look for another that I can enjoy.
