I reached the age of sixteen in August 1798. Six months later, towards the end of February, I left the college of Sorèze. My father had a friend named M. Dorignac, who offered to take me with him to the capital. It took us eight days to reach Paris, where we arrived in March 1799, on the day when the Odéon theatre was burned down for the first time.
I could find no other means of transport but the mail coach, and although the seats were very expensive, I took one as far as Gimont, where I was welcomed with open arms by M. Dorignac, a friend of my father, with whom I had spent several months after I left Sorèze. I rested for a few days with his family, then I took a stage-coach to Toulouse.
