About This Book

The author recounts a spring journey from Paris toward Milan, contrasting verdant lowland scenes with the austere, snow-scoured Alps; he narrates a perilous Loire crossing during flood, rapid travel through regional towns, and an arduous ascent of Mont Cenis by mule and sedan-chair. A visit to a military headquarters prompts conversation, while detailed impressions emphasize changing light, the roar of mountain torrents, and the starkness of Savoie villages. Descriptions combine travel anecdote, natural observation, and social reflection on local people, climate, and the physical toll of Alpine passage.
