For many centuries, the Loire Valley was the setting for the French kings ́itinerant capital, with each individual chateau serving as court head-quarters during a given season. It was here in this garden spot of France that the morchy discovered the Renaissance. The medieval castle, which was initialy a fortress and a defense instrument, and whose representatives include Chinon, Angers, Loches, Amboise and Langeais, shed its warlike trapping along on one its walls, to open out onto gardens and the river, as do Saumur, Ussé and Chaumont, and to yield to the emergence of certain Renaissance masterpieces, those royal pleasure dwellings such as Chambord, Bloi, Villandrey, Azay-le-Rideau and Chenonceaux, as well as certain classical-age masterpieces such as Cheverny.

The world-famous chateaux of the Loire attract hundreds of thousands of visitors every year. In this book, the photographer Robert Polidori has captured more than seventy of them in unique pictures. He depicts the Chateau of Blois in its imposing beauty, the original fortifications in Chinon and Angers, and the Magnificent Azay-le-Rideau. It goes without saying that the splendid Chambord is here as well, a place redolent of legend and history like almost no other.

"The châteaux of the Loire, that today act as a magnet for thousands of tourists, bear witness to a magnificent past. They are, however, not only monuments in stone to the drive of kings to demonstrate their prestige in architectural form, they also reflect the development of France in the 15th and 16th centuries on the road to absolute monarchy. This volume throws new light on the châteaux. It does not concentrate on the chateau as an individual monument, but on the châteaux in an historical and social context, their political and social symbolic function. Their location, structure and design provide us with insights into the deeper relationships between their architecture and the needs--in a period of upheaval--of those who ordered them to be built. The essays and the abundance of illustrative material, including plans and elevation drawings, offer both the readers of this book and visitors to the châteaux a glimpse behind the façade of a chequered period in the history of France"--Publisher's description, p. [2] of dust jacket.
