The Ile-de-France is the name of the area surrounding Paris which for countless centuries has been the very hub of French civilisation. This volume traces the history of the chateaux in this area as it is written in the stones of their magnificent architecture. It includes all the châteaux which stand between the slopes of Picardy and the Loire valley and between the pastures of Normandy and the vineyards of Champagne.
