I totally disagree with the previous reviewer. Just because one fails to find one entry doesn't mean the book is faulty. Let's not overlook all of the useful information in the book and the beautiful photographs as well.

I love the Michelin star system and find that it in fact lines up beautifully with my interests when I travel. Something rated 3 stars I do usually find fantastic and the things they find worth mentioning or just giving one star to I mostly agree with.

This book somehow manages to be light enough and of a size and shape that make it very portable and not at all a hassle to take along.

The information given helped us both in the planning stages helping us choose which chateaux to devote our time to and also while we were there, we could pull this out and read up a little on our next stop or look something up about the history of where we were visiting.

I browsed a few different guides before making my choice and I'm very pleased with my choice. It seems like a lot of people choose the Eyewitness guide for this and although it is pretty to look at, I just didn't find the information as thorough as in this Michelin guide.

A very handy format and easy to use with plenty of suggestions and good maps. This is a must travel companion in the Loire Valley.

Poorly organized and difficult to use. Inadequate index. If you don't happen to know that the St. Julien church you heard about is actually a cathedral, and alphabatized under "C" for cathedral in the index and not "S" for St. or "J" for Julien, you, like me, will come to loathe this book.
