“Une Vieille France la Touraine”: Territory, history, heritage, identities (19th-20th centuries)

Touraine paints the perfect picture of the Old France – where Kings from the end of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance came to stay. Alongside this very first Touraine is another Touraine – intimate and unfamiliar – that of its locals, of the villages and forgotten lands, which Daniel Schweitz invites readers to discover in his book.
