Travel

If travel broadens the mind, then a good travel book can open up new horizons. Whether you're a sunseeker or a culture vulture, whether you're looking for five star options or a budget break, we have a guide which will tell you all you need to know. We carry all the popular series, including Lonely Planet, Rough Guides, Time Out and Bradt, as well as more specialist guides for those venturing off the beaten track, and maps and atlases to help you find your way there (and back).

Our London section contains everything you need to know, with guides to hotels, food and drink, and attractions for every taste. And we can help you plan your trip beyond the capital too, with hotel directories and walking guides for the whole of Britain, including a full range of Ordnance Survey maps. We also carry travel literature, from earnest adventurers exploring the untrodden wildernesses of the world to cultural tours of fascinating societies, written by explorers from the intrepid to the hapless.

You can email any queries to travel@foyles.co.uk, or phone us on +44 (0) 20 7437 5660.

Book of the Month

The Secret Life of France The Secret Life of France
Lucy Wadham

In this candid and funny account of her escape from English boys and her love affair with a Frenchman, Lucy Wadham describes the mutual bafflement and fascination that characterised both her subsequent marriage and her unfolding relationship with France. Using her own personal experiences over 25 years, Lucy offers a rare insider's view of a nation that may be deeply incompatible with ours but is also, she thinks, chronically misunderstood. She leads us on a journey through the French moral maze, and examines French attitudes to a range of subjects, from marriage and adultery to work and race relations. By taking apart the cliches she helps us gain a better understanding of this nearest and most alien of neighbours, and suggests that on some matters we have much to learn from them.

All at Sea
Tim Fitzhigham

His adventure is proof that the Great British eccentric is still with us and that the border between madness and genius may not actually exist at all.

Bandit Roads
Richard Grant

Bandit Roads In the Sierra Madre, the nearest thing to law enforcement is the presence of the brutal drug cartels, and an AK-47 is de rigueur. Despite warnings that he probably wouldn't make it back alive, Richard Grant went off to explore a surreal and sinister realm of canyons and isolated villages, where homicide is the most common cause of death and grandmothers sell cocaine. And where strangers tend to get shot at.

Dan Walsh

These are the Days That Must Happen to You South America is the promised land for the adventurous biker, where the adrenaline rush lasts the whole trip. Caught up in a revolution in Buenos Aires, struck down with typhoid in a dilapidated Bolivian hotel and held up at gunpoint by a one-armed, one-legged midget, Walsh's story is an angry, narcotic-fuelled trek through the unknown. And like a true biker pilgrim, with the book written, he's back on the road.
