 Nice pictures, but August 31, 2006
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I bought a DK book after being impressed by the glossy pictures in friend's DK Italy book a few years ago.
Whilst the book really does have some excellent photos of the places to see, it is a bit weak on telling you where to miss. A little to rich on the superlatives to describe the rich history of the region and a little light on the more current attractions. Everything is rosy, but a little bland in DK land - not objective enough.
Perhaps I was just missing the Rough Guide?
 A must-have for anyone visitting the Loire Valley September 12, 2005

I used this guide for my one-week driving vacation on the Loire Valley and it was of great help.
It's hard to decide where to go, especially when we're visitting a large region (as opposed to a city), and idle driving must be avoided. The guide helped a lot in the planning. (AA maps, ISBN 0749544112 and 0749544066, which I also bought from Amazon, were of paramount importance too.)
I only visited the Anjou and the Touraine regions (which are only a part of the Loire region), and for what I could see for myself the information in the book is accurate.
Taveler's needs sections (specially 'Where to stay' and 'Where to eat') were also of significant help: I stayed in two of the suggested chateaux and dined in one of the restaurants and couldn't be more satisfied. But I would add some suggestions of my own...
