What reading level is The Châteaux of Touraine book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was destroyed in compara- tively recent times.
Passing along the shady quay and by a statue of Rabelais, who, it is thought, was born at Chinon, a spot is presently reached from which a comprehensive view of the castle may be had.
The ground begins to rise not far from the river-bank, and the town is drawn out in a long, narrow fringe along the lower part of the incline, and threaded by steep and tortuous little 137 THE CHATEAUX OF TOURAINE streets. When it becomes too sheer for houses, tiny... gardens and vineyards are scooped out of the rocky soil. Above these there is a space of rock and wall and scanty verdure through which a stone-paved road slants sidewise to where an arched bridge spans the moat and brings you to Henry II's feudal gateway.
From where you stand you can distinctly mark the limits of the three groups of buildings which compose the chateau. On the extreme right, above the line of the road, rises the square bulk of the Fort St. Georges built by King Henry and called after the patron saint of his kingdom over the water.
