35 Une note au sujet des châteaux
There were both royal châteaux and private châteaux built in Touraine. In general, the king had only one set of furnishings, which was transported from château to château as he traveled.

36 Une note au sujet des châteaux
That is why many of the royal châteaux are today quite sparsely furnished. In most private châteaux, a guest room was always set aside for the king.
