Note 4 — Chapter II · THE PLACE OF NOTRE DAME IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF FRENCH GOTHIC.
Reading edition
French Gothic is here generally intended to convey the Gothic of the Ile-de-France. The contemporary architecture of Normandy has a character of its own, probably not less valuable than that of the Ile-de-France. But it is different, and its differences have been dealt with in other handbooks of this series.
