What reading level is A Little Tour in France book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I sat down on an old stone and looked away to the desolate salt-marshes and the still, shining surface of the tftaiig; and, as I did so, reflected that this was a queer little out-of-the-world corner to have been chosen, in the great dominions of either monarch, for that pompous interview which took place, in 1538, between Francis I. and Charles V.
It was also not easy to perceive how Louis IX., when in 1248 and 1270 he started for the Holy Land, set his army afloat in such very undeveloped cha...nnels. An hour later I purchased in the town a little pamphlet by M. Marius Topin, who under- takes to explain this latter anomaly and to show that there is water enough in the port, as we may call it by courtesy, to have sustained a fleet of crusaders. I was unable to trace the channel that he points out, but was glad to believe that, as he contends, the sea has not retreated from the town since the thirteenth century. It was com- fortable to think that things are not so changed as that. M. Topin indicates that the other French ports of the Mediterranean were not then dis- ponibles and that Aigues-Mortes was the most eligible spot for an embarkation.
