Légende
Eaux Bonnes, Pyrenees, 1854. Town in southern France. 'Through a drenching rain and an encircling fog...we pursued our way rapidly, and just as we emerged from amongst the cliffs, the rain abated, the mist rose, and we beheld before us the pleasantly-wooded valley of the Eux [sic] Bonnes, lying in a nook between encircling mountains, and giving its visitors a full view of the Peak of Pau. As we, however, paid our visit in the month of January, we found about twenty hotels of great dimensions entirely at our disposal...we were told we might sleep in any bed-room we chose: but being shown, at first, into one which might have suited an English Duke and Duchess, we preferred an humbler chamber; and breakfasted and dined, next day, four of us, at a table d'hote, the dimensions of the accommodation of which might have dined 200'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
