good general overview,
By A Customer
This review is from: Lonely Planet Loire, The (Travel Guides) (Paperback)
This book provides a lot of good general information without going into too much detail. It is a fast read and well-organized. The Michelin books provide greater detail but sometimes more is not always better. I used it to select places I wanted to go and then researched them in other books to confirm my choices. It is a good starting point in planning a great trip.
