They are certainly not going to replace a good Michelin map but they provide good context and highlight the Grand CRu wineries in bold type.The recommendations are very good if you are not on a budget. The restaurants we visited from the book were top notch, but pricey at 15-20 Euro for prix fix lunch and upwards of 40 Euros for supper.
