Most locations comes with stunning photography and include links to IGN detailed 1:25,000 mapping (internet connection required). There is contact information for nearby pubs, campsites and attractions. If you need inspiration you can browse the app by slideshow, list, photo gallery and on an interactive map.

### 1/5 — Places are not showing on the map

*2024-05-27*

The map is not working anymore and the interface doesn’t always work. Now you have to pay 10€ to get an update the version 2…

### 1/5 — Its very bad and never updates and plus there nkt so much photos of the locations !!

*2024-02-19*

Very much disappointed there no more photos of the location

### 2/5 — Great app…at least it was

*2023-12-20*

Great app, I travel around France a lot and I great to browse whilst on the road to plan the next stop.

However the last 6 months, the map is blank, the pins show up but no map context. Just a beige screen. Iv tried deleting and re-installing. No good though.

So just beware before spending £7.99

### 1/5 — Umständlich

*2020-08-15*

Die Bedienung ist sehr ungewöhnlich und umständlich. In der Kartendarstellung ist die Markierung der Orte höchst seltsam gelöst; eine vernünftige Karten-Darstellung ist nur über die Auswahl einer Region erreichbar - aber dann steckt man wieder fest. Wer die Regionen Frankreichs nicht auswendig kennt, kann mit der gezeigten Einteilung (identisch wie im Buch) nichts anfangen. 
Unerwartet ist auch, dass man beim Auswählen einer Region zuerst bei den Detail-Infos der Badeorte landet - auf die erwartete Karte kann man leider nicht umschalten. 
Viele andere Elemente sehen sehr ungewöhnlich aus, die Bedienung ist höchst unglücklich gelöst.
