This long out-of-print classic of the attractions of SW France arrived in excellent condition and will serve as an invaluable reference in our personal library.

3.0 out of 5 stars Classic But Dated
Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2017

Published in the mid-1950's, this is a classic piece of British travel writing about a less-visited area of France. The three rivers in question are the Lot, the Tarn and the Dordogne. My wife and I spent several days in this region about five years ago and I hoped to revisit it with some cultural detail and to read some 'travel stories' by using this book.
Most readers will find, of course, that the book is 'dated.' A lot of water has flowed down those rivers since the book was written and there is a sizable annual influx of tourism in the area now. Information about food ways and 'typical' dishes is limited and general. The same is true of the area's wine culture. 'Dated' goes double there! The first part of the book treats geology and geography almost to the point of pedantry. Other than that, the text was well-written.Today's travelers will want to look elsewhere and for up-to-the-moment information.

5.0 out of 5 stars I have known this book for many years and love it; this copy is in fine condition, which is great because it's a gift.

This book is a remarkable source of information about an area of France defined by three rivers: the Dordogne, the Lot and the Tarn. Though as a vacation guide it is outdated, it discusses how the land was formed (geologically), reviews its sociological and military history, its farming and wine culture, food, and the temperament of the people. Its author obviously loved France and wrote it for people who feel similarly and are keen to learn as much as they can about the country.
