Erik Svane's Travel Writing

As a travel writer, I have helped update a number of guidebooks, both in French and English, in addition to writing for magazines. I also researched and wrote more than 500 entries (in both English and French) for the Paris, Cannes, and Saint-Tropez city guides of the World Cities website. For an example of my writings, please go to my Normandy URL pages.
