4.0 out of 5 stars.  Great summary of TDF!, August 1, 2009
By Stephen M. Stewart
Great summary from the best photographer of the TDF, Graham Watson. Insights into travel tips, tour recommendations, classic stages and climbs, legendary tour participants and history of the tour. Filled with Graham's great photo's to make for a visually appealing read. Not necessarily the best travel guide but a great resource for anyone seriously considering to see the TDF first hand. Also includes insights into Grahams photographic techniques for capturing this majestic sport.

4.0 out of 5 stars.  Tour de France travel guide, September 12, 2009
By Rick Sabata (Colorado Springs, Colorado)
Although I had some of this information previously, the book reiterated what I'd already found out, and in addition had very useful information on following the Tour, the regions of France, the mountains of the Tour, and photography tips (that's what Graham Watson does). For someone just beginning, his planning & travel tips would be very welcome and a good starting point for planninga trip. All in all, a fast read, with nice color photographs, and a fair amount of practical information.

5.0 out of 5 stars.  Great for any biker or wannabe!, December 12, 2009
By Happy Sorter (Michigan)
This book has a great cover with a heavy inside jacket when opened up. Gave it as a gift and was greatly appreciated by my brother who is an avid biker.
