What reading level is Old Touraine, the Life And History of the Chateaux of the Loire 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The seventeenth century is the century of the intrigues of Paris, the age of Versailles and Fontainebleau, and Touraine is all but neglected by the Court. Yet it is impossible to leave Touraine without visiting the gigantic Chambord, without glancing, though but for a moment, at a few more of the noble houses scattered through the province, without finishing the i82 OLD TOURAINE brief sketch of the central town of Tours which was begun earlier in this book.
These last things, then, we have left... to do, and then bid the traveller wander at his will.^ * Nearly all the notes from which the foregoing chapters were written were taken during the summer and autumn of 1890. A few changes noticed on a short visit in 1S91 will be found in the Appendix.
At the present moment (December 1891) I hear that Chenonceaux has at last actually found a purchaser ; but there is a loss to record as well ; the Abbey of Cormery has been all but completely ruined by the storms.
CHAPTER XXI CHAMBORD ** Ledict bastiment estoit cent fois plus magnifique que n'est Bonivet ne Chambourg ne Chantilly : car en icellui estoient neuf mille trois cents trente et deux chambres, chascune garnie de arriere chambre, cabinet, garderobe, chapelle, et issue en une grande salle." — La vie Ms horrifique du grand Gargantua, cap.
