This brand new, completely revised edition features the best of the Châteaux of the Loire. The Loire Valley is a cultural landscape of great renown and beauty, noteworthy, too, for the very high quality of its architectural heritage, boasting more than 300 châteaux in and around such historic towns as Amboise, Angers, Blois, Chinon, Saumur and Tours. So rich and diverse is this pedigree that in December 2000, UNESCO added the central part of the valley to its list of World Heritage Sites. Tours, maps, full-colour photos, illustrations and plenty of new content help you explore the Châteaux, while Michelin's celebrated star-rating system and respected maps make sure you see the best that the Loire Valley has to offer.
