This travel book, published in 1910, visits the homes of the kings of France, in Paris and around the capital: the Louvre, the Tuileries, Fontainebleau, Versailles, Chantilly and Compiègne. It also tells of the art of the French formal garden and of the great royal hunts.
Rather than dates, the author gathers the anecdotes left by the old chroniclers: a lively stroll through centuries of French history.
The book goes from palace to palace and can be read at your own pace in the language you are learning.
