What reading level is A Little Tour in France book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Tour de Con-stance is of extraordinary girth and solidity, dividedinto three superposed circular chambers, with very finevaults, which are lighted by embrasures of prodigiousdepth, converging to windows little larger than loop-holes. The place served for years as a prison to manyof the Protestants of the south whom the revocationof the Edict of Nantes had exposed to atrociouspenalties, and the annals of these dreadful chambersduring the first half of the last century were writtenin tears an...d blood. Some of the recorded cases oflong confinement there make one marvel afresh atwhat man has inflicted and endured. In a country inwhich a policy of extermination was to be put intopractice this horrible tower was an obvious resource. From the battlements at the top, which is surmountedby an old disused light-house, you see the little com-pact rectangular town, which looks hardly bigger thana garden-patch, mapped out beneath you, and followthe plain configuration of its defences. You takepossession of it, and you feel that you will rememberit always.
