Respected cultural travel guides featuring Michelin stars and tours. This brand new, completely revised edition features the best of the Chteaux 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 chteaux 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.
