Stained Glass Tours in France

A practical handbook directs travelers to exemplary medieval and Renaissance stained glass across France, organizing churches and windows by century and proposing convenient touring itineraries. It offers accessible commentary on design, color, and architectural setting alongside route maps, illustrations, and detailed descriptions of important windows, façades, and choir chapels. Separate sections treat thirteenth-, fourteenth- and fifteenth-, and sixteenth-century glass, followed by suggested tours, distances, and an index to aid planning. Written by an informed amateur rather than a specialist, the text emphasizes visual effects, memorable examples in specific cathedrals, and practical advice for sightseers wishing to appreciate stained glass in situ.
