This pocket sized book can be helpful to cyclists (and others) while visiting the Loire Valley. It would have been better with an Index and adding landmarks (such as the gorgeous castles) to the maps. I was interested in the Chateau d'Usse, but it took me a long time using internet searches and maps to finally find it in this book. I'd recommend taking along more detailed maps, and the author does recommend others. He points out that maps for motorists do not meet the needs of cyclists, but the maps in the book do not give any clues about sights to see along the way. His commentaries are brief beyond belief, but the book is light enough to take along with you.
