<p>The name Touraine is now meant to refer to that indefinite part of central France celebrated for its historical houses and its natural beauty. The author's aim in this enchanting work is to provide the traveller, armchair and actual, with sufficient intellectual equipment so that he may find the beautiful chateux of this region something more than coy lamentations of stone and mortar. Studied as they are in connection with the times through which they have lived, the buildings share their lives, the lives of the people who have occupied them, and the times through which they have passed.</p>
