The complete content of the ideal travel companion from Michelin is now available for your Communicator. Using The Michelin Red Guide Europe 2001, business travellers and holiday makers will be able to search in 20 European countries for the best selection of places to eat and stay in all main towns and cities.

Customised searches can be made on criteria such as name, price, class category and dozens of facilities such as air conditioning, garden or car park.
And of course you can ask for restaurants and hotels worthy of the renowned Michelin accolades, such as The famous Michelin stars.

This is the main view of The Michelin Red Guide Europe 2001: On the right is a list of towns and districts. Selecting a town or district will instantly display all places within it. Select any word or icon to get a detailed explanation....

Example: Information about a good hotel in Paris

Narrow down your selection by setting many different search criteria - including "proximity" criteria (ordering the results by distance from a particular place):

Example: find restaurants within 20 miles from your Hotel that have at least
one Michelin star and that allow you to have your meals on a terrace...

There are dozens of criteria, and practical "summary" reports to help you be even more critical if your initial search gives you too many places to choose from:

Example: summary report for a search that resulted in 69 matches. Your next step might be to restrict your criteria further, e.g. to places that accept your American Express credit card...
