Excerpt from Nouvelles Impressions de Voyage, Vol. 2: Midi de la France
Nous dînâmoe à la hâte, afin de visiter avant la nuit l'ermitage de Saint - Pancrace, situé au haut d'une montagne, à trois quarts de lieuc de Pout - Saint - Esprit. La seule chose curieuse qu'il renferme est un puits dont l'eau se trouve au niveau du Rhône, de sorte qu'une pierre met trois minutes et demie à descendre et un seau une heure à monter. Nous nous bornâmes à 'la première expérience.
