Comprehensive guide to the Loire Valley - split up into smaller regions. The photographs and illustrations are beautifully done. The highlights of specific chateaux and cathedrals were especially interesting.

Even though my version (from my local library) was a little outdated, still a good tourist guide on the Loire Valley. We did get our restaurant/hotel recommendations elsewhere.

Loved all the Jules Verne lore in the Loire 💕

Tra tre giorni partiamo per i Castelli della Loira *_*
Non potevo di certo farmi trovare impreparata ;)

Come al solito le guide Mondadori non mi deludono. Utilissima per decidere che cosa vedere, che giro fare sia in città che dentro i castelli. Pieno di foto, di spiegazioni, di spaccati dei castelli più importanti con le sale e tutto ciò che è da vedere. Storia di tutta la valle. Divisione dei castelli per regione. Con annesse le città importanti con relativa cartina del centro e con le 5 cose da vedere assolutmanete.
E soprattutto cosa mangiare e dove ^^

Consigliatissima. Anche se questa non è molto aggiornata, perchè ora il giro della Valle della Loira è compreso nella guida della francia del nord. Ho fatto un pò fatica a trovarla perchè io ne volevo una specifica e volevo proprio questa, con la Touring o la Micheline proprio non mi trovo.

Always like these guides and this has been great on holiday. The one thing we saw we were underwhelmed by - its not in this book. A good indication of its worth, I suspect (pity about the wasted €10 at the "attraction")
