Excerpt from Touraine and Its Story In others less fallen to decay you will better than in any museum chateau realise the old country life of France, the life of the lesser seigneurs, very simple, very practical, intimately connected with the growing things about - the wheat on the upland plain, the vines on the hillside - a life that after innumerable disasters and revolutions has remained age after age nearly the same.
