Book Description

Excerpt from Tartarin Sur Les Alpes: Roman IN Nimes, a sunny, windy, dusty city of the Midi, the visitor is shown first the Roman temple and the Roman amphitheater and the baths and the Great Tower; he is then escorted to the Rue Alphonse Daudet and the Daudet bust in the public gardens and the tablet on the house of Baudet's birth. And if the visitor has come to know and to love the south through Daudet, to love the dust and the wind and the heat as well as the olive orchards and the vineyards, he will find the tablet and the bust of not secondary interest to the Maison Carree and the Arenes and the Tour Magne.
