The general followed in a pony phaeton, and ministers, adjutants, and the population of the district trooped along in a party-colored mass. It was a good afternoon's work to visit all the fountains. They are twenty-six in number, strewn over the undulating grounds. People who visit Paris usually consider a day of Grandes Eaux at Versailles the last word of this species of costly trifling.
I have not yet quite got over my last violent attack, and am weak and flimsy. I have now drank the waters but three days; so that, without a miracle, I cannot yet expect much alteration, and I do not in the least expect a miracle. If they proved 'les eaux de Jouvence' to me, that would be a miracle indeed; but, as the late Pope Lambertini said, 'Fra noi, gli miracoli sono passati girt un pezzo'.
«Dans la partie de la vallée où s'observent ces phénomènes, on marche toujours entre deux montagnes resserrées, dont les nuage dérobent souvent les cimes, mais par-tout où les eaux de quelque torrent considérable viennent se réunir
The picturesque "coucous" which stood on the Place de la Concorde, encumbering the Cours-la-Reine, coucous which had flourished for a century, and were still numerous in 1830, scarcely exist in 1842, unless on the occasion of some attractive suburban solemnity, like that of the Grandes Eaux of Versailles.
People of fashion go to the Eaux Bonnes and to Luchon, and people who are really ill to Bareges and Cauterets. It is at these places that one meets crowds of Parisians, and the daughters and wives of rich merchants from Bordeaux, with an admixture, now by no means inconsiderable, of Englishmen and Englishwomen. But the Eastern Pyrenees are still unfrequented.
Of us who think ourselves stronger, how many ever had such a temptation? In a few hours he had left Eaux Tranquilles for Paris. Dominique brought him to a house in the Quartier du Temple where there was an apartment which de Bailleul often occupied: there they installed themselves.
More, he wanted coffee. And perhaps a raspberry ice-cream soda with it. There was one place he knew of.... Dashing down to the Paquis, he just caught a mouette for the Eaux Vives jetty. From there to the ice-cream café was but a short way. He hurried to it, and soon was enjoying the comfort of coffee, a raspberry ice-cream soda, and meringues.
Pol de Leon, on the sea-cliffs of Finisterre, stands the ancient church of Notre Dame des Eaux.
J'ai aperçu quelquefois des portions de montagnes séparées de la crête, ou du sommet principal, et dont les eaux semblent en avoir fait des espèces d'îles, en creusant autour d'elles un fossé profond, où l'on voit fort bien les angles saillans de l'île correspondre aux angles rentrans de la montagne, etc.
They occupy, for the greater part, the place of the ditches which surrounded the town; they were planted between the years 1770 and 1780 and were paved in 1783, at the expense of the town. They are about 3 miles in length. Mount Saint-Catherine first presents itself. We may go to it, either by the Paris high road, or by the petites eaux Martainville.
