Mountains, rivers, rolling hills, pine forests and the Atlantic coast provide a spectacular range of food and drink, while its cultural inheritance is equally wide-ranging; prehistoric caves, Romanesque pilgrimage churches, 18th-century chateaux and cityscapes, eclectic seaside architecture and rich art collections.

Pages 450 to 451 should be updated as follows:
On April 11, 2011, the Musée Bonnat closed for renovations and reorganization. It will re-open at some undisclosed future date under the name Musée Bonnat-Helleu, Musée des Beaux-Arts de Bayonne.

These are the same books, one with our US co-publisher WW Norton’s US ISBN, the other with our Blue Guides UK ISBN. However our more recent books have only the Blue Guides ISBN, though they continue to be distributed in the States by Norton.

I see on Amazon some listing 0393328937 as the third edition of the Southwest France book. The year is the same as the second edition. Is this a mistake. What is the difference between 0393328937 and 1905131135.

Chateau de Bessonies - SW France
My wife and I have just spent a night at this place which offers chambres d’hotes as well as tables d’hotes and I can thoroughly recommend it. The owner, Anne Bonventure, is an extremely engaging character and has full details of how she restored the chateau over a four year period. http://www.chateau-bessonies.com gives full information.
Certainly worth considering for inclusion in the next edition of the SW France Blue Guide

James Christie
