For +the Time-tables recommended, and for the mode of procedure on the +Continental Railways, see “Preliminary Information.”</p> + +<p>Before commencing our description of the Winter Resorts on the +Mediterranean, with the best routes towards them, let it be clearly +understood that not even in the very mildest of these stations is it +safe for the invalid to venture out either in the early morning or after +sunset without being well protected with warm clothing; and that, even +with this precaution, the risk run of counteracting the beneficial +influences of a sojourn in these regions is so great as to render it +prudent to determine from the first to spend those hours always within +doors. On the other hand, it is most conducive to health, during the +sunny hours of the day, to remain as much as possible in the open air, +walking and driving along the many beautiful terraces and roads with +which these places abound; and if the day be well employed in such +exercise, it will be no great hardship to rest at home in the evening. +Nor is it necessary to remain in the same town during the entire season; +indeed a change of scene is generally most beneficial, for which the +railway as well as the steamers affords every facility. “I would +strongly advise every person who goes abroad for the recovery of his +health, whatever may be his disease or to what climate soever he may go, +to consider the change as placing him merely in a more favourable +situation for the removal of his disease; in fact, to bear constantly in +mind that the beneficial influence of travelling, of sailing, and of +climate requires to be aided by such dietetic regimen and general mode +of living, and by such remedial measures as would have been requisite in +his case had he remained in his own country. All the circumstances +requiring attention from the invalid at home should be equally attended +to abroad. If in some things greater latitude may be permitted, others +will demand +<span class = "pagenum">vii</span> +<a name = "pagevii" id = "pagevii"> </a> +<!-- png 008 --> +even a more rigid attention. It is, in truth, only by a due regard to +all these circumstances that the powers of the constitution can be +enabled to throw off, or even materially mitigate, in the best climate, +a disease of long standing.</p> + +<p>“It may appear strange that I should think it requisite to insist so +strongly on the necessity of attention to these directions; but I have +witnessed the injurious effects of a neglect of them too often not to +deem such remarks called for in this place. It was, indeed, matter of +surprise to me, during my residence abroad, to observe the manner in +which many invalids seemed to lose sight of the object for which they +left their own country—the recovery of their health. This appeared +to arise chiefly from too much being expected from climate.</p> + +<p>“The more common and more injurious deviations from that system of +living which an invalid ought to adopt, consist in errors of diet, +exposure to cold, over-fatigue, and excitement in what is called +‘sight-seeing,’ frequenting crowded and over-heated rooms, and keeping +late hours. Many cases fell under my observation in which climate +promised the greatest advantage, but where its beneficial influence was +counteracted by the operation of these causes.” —<i>Sir James +Clark on the Sanative Influence of Climate.</i></p> + +<h6 class = "sans">SEE <a href = "paris.html#map27">MAP PAGE 27</a>, AND +<a href = "#map_flyleaf">MAP ON FLY-LEAF</a>.</h6> + +<p>Many after leaving the Riviera are the better of making a short stay +at some of the baths, such as <a href = "turin.html#page359">Vichy</a> +(p. 359), <a href = "paris.html#page93">Vals</a> (p. 93), +<a href = "turin.html#page378">Mont-Dore</a> (p. 378), <a href = +"turin.html#page383">Bourboule</a> (p. 383), <a href = +"turin.html#page283">Aix-les-Bains</a> (p. 283), <a href = +"turin.html#page357">Bourbon-l’Archambault</a> (p. 357), or <a href += "turin.html#page358">Bourbon-Lancy</a> (p. 358).

The luggage tickets are called also +“bulletins.”</p> + +<p>After your articles have been weighed, your ticket, along with a +luggage receipt, is handed you from the “guichet” of the luggage office, +where, if your baggage is not overweight, you pay 10 c. or 2 sous. +Before pocketing the luggage ticket, just run your eye down the column +headed “Nombre de Colis,” and see that the exact number of your articles +has been given. The French have a strange way of making the figures +3, 5, +<span class = "pagenum">xii</span> +<a name = "pagexii" id = "pagexii"> </a> +<!-- png 013 --> +and 7. Whatever is overweight is paid for at this office; but remember, +when two or more are travelling together, to present the tickets of the +whole party at the luggage department, otherwise the luggage will be +treated as belonging to one person, and thus it will probably be +overweight. Another advantage of having the entire number of the party +on the “Billet de Bagage” is that, in case of one or other losing their +carriage tickets, this will prove the accident to the stationmaster +(chef-de-Gare) and satisfy him. If, after having purchased a ticket, the +train is missed, that ticket, to be available for the next train, must +be presented again to the ticket office, to be re-stamped (être +visé).</p> + +<p>The traveller, on arriving at his destination, will frequently find +it more convenient not to take his luggage away with him; in which case, +having seen it brought from the train to the station, he should tell the +porter that he wishes it left there. He retains, however, his luggage +ticket, which he only presents when he desires his luggage again.</p> + + +<h5 class = "ital">On the Railway.</h5> + +<p>In the carriage cast the eye over the line as given in our railway +map, and note the junctions; for at many of these—such as Amiens, +Rouen, Culoz, Macon, etc. etc.—the passengers are frequently +discharged from the carriages and sent into the waiting-rooms to await +other trains. On such occasions great attention must be paid to the +names the porter calls out when he opens the door of the waiting-room, +otherwise the wrong train may be taken. To avoid this, observe on our +railway map what are the principal towns along the line in the direction +required to go; so that when, for example, he calls out, “Voyageurs du +Côté de Lyon!” and we be going to Marseilles from Macon, we may, with +confidence, enter the train, because, by reference to the map, we see we +must pass Lyon to reach Marseilles. The little railway map will be found +very useful, and ought always to be kept in readiness for reference.</p> + +<p><i>Buffet</i> means “refreshment-room”; and <i>Salle d’Attente</i>, +“waiting-room.”</p> + +<p>There are separate first, second, and third class carriages for +ladies.</p> + +<p>Express trains have third class carriages for long distances.</p> + + +<h5 class = "ital">Railway Omnibuses.</h5> + +<p>At the stations of the largest and wealthiest towns three kinds of +omnibuses await the arrival of passengers. They may be distinguished by +the names of the General Omnibus, the Hotel Omnibus, and the Private +Omnibus. The general omnibus takes passengers to all parts of the town +for a fixed sum, rarely above half a franc; so that, should the omnibus +be full, it is some time till the last passenger gets put down at his +destination. The hotel omnibus takes passengers only to the hotel or +hotels whose name or names it bears.</p> + +</div> <!-- end div prelim --> + + +<div class = "page"> + +<span class = "pagenum">xiii</span> +<a name = "pagexiii" id = "pagexiii"> </a> +<!-- png 014 --> + +<h3><a name = "contents" id = "contents">CONTENTS.</a></h3> + +<h4 class = "boldf"> +RAILWAYS, ROADS, and BYE-WAYS in the<br> +SOUTH-EAST of FRANCE, and the MOUNTAIN<br> +PASSES between FRANCE and ITALY.</h4> + +<p><span class = "firstword">For</span> the whole of the south-east of +France use the time-tables of the “Chemins de Fer de Paris à Lyon et à +la Méditerranée.” Sold at all their stations, price 8 sous.
