Author Description

Excerpt from Environs de Paris Bourg-la-reine, le Pavé du Roi était sillonne d'esta fettes, de courriers, de cavaliers piaffant et caracolant. Des détachements de troupes occupaient les carrefours; les bouchons regorgeaient de buveurs humant le piot les talus herbeux limitant les vignes, si nom breuses alors du côté de la barrière Saint - Jacques ser vaient de tribunes rustiques aux bourgeois et aux manants, et, perches dans les branches d'arbres, les gamins, jambes pendantes, signalaient au populo les menus événements de la journée.
