If I had a history teacher of the class M. Gonzaga Saint-Bris, my culture would have been better. This book takes us in time and we learned a lot about this period of rebirth and François 1er. Since I went to the Chateau du Clos Lucé, and having read the book I really enjoyed this tour accompanied by an excellent guide. Mr. Gonzaga should enter the French Academy for he writes in impeccable French and all his books are masterpieces.
