The cathedrals, palaces and chateaux
OF France around which so much of his
tory and romance has gathered, are OBJ
jects Of perennial interest. Nowhere can
be found so many splendid examples OF
the art Of the architects and builders OF
bygone days. ,gs.s.
The subject Of French. architecture nat
urally divides itself into two parts; one
devoted to the Gothic, and the other tc
the Renaissance style. Under the first
are grouped the great Cathedrals, and
under the second the Palaces and Cha
teauxs of France. The classification re-
suits from the fact that the chief Emonu-
! ments Of the Gothic style are ecclesias-
tical and those Of the Renaissance sec.
