French History: Kingdoms, Regions and Historic Sites

French history includes royal building campaigns and the distinct histories of Burgundy, Brittany, Aquitaine, Provence and Toulouse. Fortified residences, cathedrals and monasteries preserve the work of these courts and communities. The sites collection follows those historical associations across modern borders, including later French military construction abroad. It brings the regional polities together for exploration while retaining their separate names and chronology.
