Summary: "Les Tourelles: Histoire des châteaux de France, volume I" by Léon Gozlan is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The text explores the significance of French châteaux, delving into their architectural and historical importance, as well as their role in the broader narrative of French identity and civilization. Through its discussions, the work examines the cultural, political, and social implications of these enduring structures. The opening of the book introduces the theme of preserving historical monuments in France, focusing on the impact of the Bourbon Restoration and the subsequent changes in public perception towards the remnants of feudal architecture.
