Texte au verso
29652 AN OLD WORLD COURTYARD IN THE CHATEAU COUNTRY OF FRANCE The word chateau is French for castle and was originally applied to the medieval castles of the 15th and 16th centuries that were built for defense. Later, as these developed into places of residence only, the meaning of the word came to include any large, pretentious or manorial country place. The French then distinguished the fortified castle from the residential mansion by naming the first a chateau fort and the other chateau de plaisanc. There are still many examples of the development of the one into the other for France numbers her chateaux by the hundreds. The "chateau country," however, strictly speaking, is that part of the garden country of France that lies east and of Brittany along the Loire River and its tributaries like the Vienne, the Indre and the Cher in the vicinity of Tours. Here is one of the richest and most beautiful districts of France. Much of this is in Touraine, an old province of France which stretched along both banks of the Loire, the river dividing it into Upper and Lower Touraine. This corresponds with the modern department of Indre et Loire. Touraine took its name from the Turones, the ancient tribe by which it was inhabited at the time of Caesar's conquest of Gaul. "Normandy is Normandy, Burgundy is Burgundy, Provence is Provence, but Touraine is essentially France," was written about this province. And in Touraine there is romance, found in such lovely surroundings as this old world courtyard in the little village of Vouvray, situated about seven miles east of Tours. It looks like a setting from an opera. What a place in which to meditate ; timbered structures, garden walls, figures in niches, sunshine and flowers. Copyright by The Keystone View Company
