Synopsis

Excerpt from A Roundabout Journey

The ancient hotel received us in its ancient court yard, where the big sycamore tree grows and the galleries run round, and where there are benches for loiterers to sit in the sun. The next morning was cloudless, delicious. The soldiers and the children were sunning themselves in Place de la Ville, at the head of Rue de la République, where stands the statue of Crillon, friend of Henry Cf Navarre, and the pretty theater with the figures of Racine and Corneille seated in front. We were come to a land where statues can sit out-doors with comfort in win ter. I returned to the hotel with my hands full of the open-air roses of Provence, which are blooming everywhere.
