Скачать или смотреть Introduction to the Grands Châteaux of the Loire and Ile-de-France

Yes, we are still spending most of our time at home, but how about going out to visit one of ten Grands Châteaux from the famous Loire Valley and the area around Paris called the Ile-de-France?

Get started today when Russell gives us an introduction to this series by linking architecture with history, tracing the evolution of the French château from the earliest stone donjons and châteaux forts of the Middle Ages, through the magnificent Renaissance châteaux built by the Valois kings in the Loire Valley upon their return from the Italian Wars, and on to the châteaux de plaisance built by the Bourbon kings and queens and their court in and around Paris in the French Classical style.
