Customer Reviews

Great Guide to the Chateaux
The reviews of the chateaux and the Loire valley are very, very good. The descriptions and photos provide a very nice, concise description. There are suggested day trips and, at least the day trip I took, worked well.

But I was a bit disappointed that this guide has little information regarding restaurants and other attractions in the Loire valley. I know, I know ... the title says that it is a book regarding the chateaux. But given Michelen's reputation for restaurant reviews and other travel information, I expected more reviews of restaurants that were nearby the chateaux.

Michelin Green Guide- Loire Valley
Excellent comprehensive guide to the region. I've been there four times and discovered many new places in this book.
