Petit Futé's Travel diary
Initially intended for tourist professionals (travel agencies, tour operators, tourism offices, etc.), Travel Notebooks have been available to the general public for several years. Intended for all travellers who travel on weekends, short breaks or even on trips and who are looking for a guide that is above all informative but nevertheless complete and at the best price, the Travel Notebooks are richly illustrated guides that therefore offer principally cultural and discovery information: the essential part of the destination on top. You will find all the good spots and smart tips to optimize your stay. The Travel Notebooks are thus the ideal tool for all independent travellers but also group travellers who wish to escape from their resorts. Since 2012, the Petit Futé Travel Notebook collection has been enriched with a France section, with titles that allow you to make the most of your escapades in the 4 corners of France.
