Excerpt from The Architecture of the Renaissance in France, Vol. 1: A History of the Evolution of the Arts of Building, Decoration, and Garden Design Under Classical Influence From 1495 to 1830

In France, where the national style had reached a stage of development which constituted the almost direct antithesis of its remote classical origin, the fusion was effected with far less ease and, if for that reason its results but seldom rival the best works of the Italian Renaissance in ideal charm, they yet possess a haunting interest, and offer perhaps even more suggestion for the modern world by reason of the traces of struggle which they bear upon them.
