Guido Joanne

Japanese: 《ギド・ジョアンヌ》 - ぎどじょあんぬ
Guido Joanne

Hachette had been publishing the Guide Joanne, a detailed guidebook on history and art history, since the early 1850s, but turned its attention to the development of France's railways and published the Guide Bleu, a guidebook for railway travelers in separate volumes for each region of France and each region of Europe, which was well received (it took the name Guide Bleu in 1919). While the Guide Michelin for automobiles, which began to appear in the 20th century, was popular for its simplicity, the Guide Bleu has maintained its position as a standard guidebook for its weight and detail.
