Andrew Sanger

Andrew Sanger (born 1948) is a British freelance journalist and travel writer, known for many popular travel guides to France and the French regions, although he has also authored more than twenty guides to other locations.

Sanger was educated at the Lycée Français in London, Colchester Royal Grammar School, University College London and Sussex University.

Sanger is the author of "The Vegetarian Traveller" (1987), a guide to the foods and eating habits around Europe and the Mediterranean, which was one of the first travel guides for vegetarians and was a best-seller in the United Kingdom [Sunday Times best selling travel titles, 17 May 1987)] ; and a commentary on Robert Louis Stevenson's "An Inland Voyage" (1991). His guide "Exploring Rural France" (1988 and subsequent editions) gave early encouragement to ordinary tourists visiting France to get off the beaten track and discover more about the country. The book gave a rise to a series published by A&C Black (London) urging the same approach to other countries. Sanger also published a novel online through self-publisher Lulu.com, "Love" (2005), describing life in Berkeley, California during the "Summer of Love" and travels during the hippy era, including the "hippie trail" to India.

In addition, Sanger has written hundreds of articles, almost all on travel, for British newspapers and other publications. From 1990 to 1999, he was editor of the French Railways (later Rail Europe) customer magazine "Top Rail". In 1994 and 1996 he received Travelex Travel Writers' Awards for articles published in "BBC Holiday Magazine" and in "Rail Europe Magazine".
