A charming hand-illustrated travelogue of the author's travels by way of honeymoon up and down the north and west of France. Some of it is light as meringue but there are a few episodes that touch profundities concerning relationships and the meaning of why some people love to travel. It isn't all happiness and sunshine and bliss but the missteps along the way help keep things grounded. I read it as part of my preparation for my own vacation in France this year and found it charming. ( )

I feel I can't truly rate this because the PDF I was reading seemed to be missing quite a few pages.

A perfect beginning to my "Paris in July" reading! Le Road Trip is full of thoughts on travel, love, and France. The artwork/illustrations perfectly complement the tone of Swift's writing. It left me energized and excited to continue my armchair travel through France. Le Road Trip is a beautiful book. ( )

You really have to see this book to really appreciate how lovely it is. Yes, Vivian Swift has written the story of the road trip she and her new husband took through Paris and France, and that’s lovely in itself, but she is also an artist who takes the tiny details of a trip and shares them with her readers through her compelling drawings, and that takes you right to what is beautiful and amazing about France.

I loved this book. ( )
