“<i>C. B. Black’s Guide-books have a character of their own; and that
character is a good one. Their author has made himself personally
acquainted with the localities with which he deals in a manner in which
only a man of leisure, a lover of travel, and an intelligent
observer of Continental life could afford to do. He does not ‘get up’
the places as a mere hack guide-book writer is often, by the necessity
of the case, compelled to do. Hence he is able to correct common
mistakes, and to supply information on minute points of much interest
apt to be overlooked by the hurried observer.</i>”</p>

<p><span class = "firstword">This</span> Guide-book consists of
<i>Routes</i> which follow the course of the main Railways. To adapt
these Routes as far as possible to the requirements of every one the
Branch Lines are also pointed out, together with the stations from which
the Coaches run, in connection with the trains, to towns distant from
the railway. The description of the places on these branch lines is
printed either in a closer or in a smaller letter than that of the towns
on the main lines.</p>
<p>Each Route has the <i>Map</i> indicated on which it is to be found.
By aid of these maps the traveller can easily discover his exact
situation, and either form new routes for himself, or follow those
given.</p>
<p>The <i>Arrangement</i> of the Routes is such that they may be taken
either from the commencement to the end, or from the end to the
commencement. The Route from Paris to Marseilles, for example, does
equally well for Marseilles to Paris.</p>
<p>The <i>Distance</i> of towns from the place of starting to the
terminus is expressed by the figures which accompany them on each side
of the margin; while the distance of any two towns on the same route
from each other is found by subtracting their marginal figures on either
side from each other.</p>
<p>In the <i>Description</i> of towns the places of interest have been
taken in the order of their position, so that, if a cab be engaged, all
that is necessary is to mention to the driver their names in succession.
Cabs on such occasions should be hired by the hour. To guard against
omission, the traveller should underline the names of the places to be
visited before commencing the round. In France the Churches are open all
the day. In Italy they close at 12; but most of them reopen at 2 <span

Picture-Galleries are open on Sundays, and very many also on Thursdays.
When not open to the public, admission is generally granted on payment
of a franc.</p>
<p>In “Table of Contents” the Routes are classified and explained. 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>

<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). If at the
eastern end of the Riviera, the nearest way to them is by rail from
Savona (pp. <a href = "riviera.html#page209">209</a> and <a href =
"riviera.html#page183">183</a>), or from Genoa (pp. <a href =
"riviera.html#page212">212</a> and <a href =
"riviera.html#page279">279</a>) to <a href =
"turin.html#page292">Turin</a> (p. 292). From Turin a short branch
line extends to <a href = "turin.html#page305">Torre-Pèllice</a>
(p. 305), situated in one of the most beautiful of the Waldensian
valleys.</p>
<p>If the journey from Turin to Aix-les-Bains, 128 miles, be too long,
a halt may be made for the night at <a href =
"turin.html#page290">Modane</a> (p. 290); where, however, on
account of the elevation, 3445 ft., the air is generally rather sharp
and bracing.</p>
<span class = "pagenum">viii</span>
<a name = "pageviii" id = "pageviii"> </a>
<!-- png 009 -->
<p>From the western end of the Riviera the best way north and to the
baths is by the valley of the Rhône (<a href = "paris.html#map27">map,
p. 27</a>), in which there are many places of great interest, such
as <a href = "paris.html#page68">Arles</a> (p. 68), <a href =
"paris.html#page58">Avignon</a> (p. 58), <a href =
"paris.html#page51">Orange</a> (p. 51), and <a href =
"paris.html#page29">Lyons</a> (p. 29). From Lyons take the western
branch by <a href = "turin.html#page349">Montbrison</a> (p. 349)

The best hotels in the places frequented by the Americans and English
cost per day from 12 to 22 frs., and the pensions from 9 to 15 frs.,
including wine (often sour) in both. The general charge in the hotels of
the other towns throughout France is from 8 to 9 frs. per day. Meat
breakfast, 2 to 3 frs.; dinner, 3 to 4 frs.; service, ½ fr.;
“café au lait,” with bread and butter, 1½ fr. The omnibus between the
hotel and the station costs each from 6 to 10 sous. The driver in most
cases loads and unloads the luggage himself at the station, when he
expects a small gratuity from 2 to 10 sous, according to the quantity of
bags and trunks. The omnibuses of the Riviera hotels cost from 1½ to
2 frs. each, and although the conductor does not unload the luggage
he expects a gratuity.</p>
<p>Neither jewellery nor money should be carried in portmanteaus. When a
stay of merely a day or two is intended, the bulky and heavy luggage
should be left in depôt at the station. Some companies charge 1, others
2 sous for each article (colis) per day. See “Railways” in “Preliminary

<h5 class = "ital">Railway Time-Tables.</h5>
<p>Time-tables or Indicateurs. For France the most useful and only
official time-tables are those published by Chaix and C<sup>ie</sup>,
and sold at all the railway stations. Of these excellent publications
there are various kinds. The most complete and most expensive is the
“Livret-Chaix Continental,” which, besides the time-tables of the French
railways, gives those also of the whole Continent, and is furnished with
a complete index; size 18mo, with about 800 pages. The “Livret-Chaix
Continental” is sold at the station bookstalls. Price 2 frs.</p>
<p>Next in importance is the “Indicateur des Chemins de Fer,” sold at
every station; size 128 small folio pages, price 60 c. It contains the
time-tables of the French railways alone, and an index and railway
map.</p>
<p>The great French lines of the “Chemins de Fer de l’Ouest,” of the
“Chemins de Fer d’Orleans,” of the “Chemins de Fer de Paris à Lyon et à
la Méditerranée,” of the “Chemins de Fer du Nord,” and of the “Chemins
de Fer de l’Est,” have each time-tables of their own, sold at all their
stations. Price 40 c. Size 18<sup>me</sup>. With good index.</p>
<p>For Belgium, the best time-tables are in the “Guide Officiel sur tous
les Chemins de Fer de Belgique.” Sold at the Belgian railway stations.
Size 18<sup>me</sup>. Price 30 c. It contains a good railway map of
Belgium.</p>
<p>For Italy, use “L’Indicatore Ufficiale delle Strade Ferrate
d’Italia.” Containing excellent maps illustrating their circular tours.
Price 1 fr.</p>
<p>In Spain use the “Indicador de los Ferro-Carriles,” sold at the
stations. The distances are, as in the French tables, in kilometres, of
which 8 make 5 miles. <i>Lleg.</i> or <i>Llegada</i> means
“arrival”; <i>Salida</i>, “departure.”</p>
<p>In England consult the “Continental Time-tables of the London,
Chatham, and Dover Railway,” sold at the Victoria Station, Pimlico,
price 2d.; or those of the London and South-Eastern, 1d.</p>
<h5 class = "ital">In the Railway Station.</h5>
<p>Before going to the station, it is a good plan to turn up in the
index of the “Livret-Chaix Continental” the place required, to ascertain
the fare and the time of starting, which stations are supplied with
refreshment rooms (marked B), and the time the train halts at each
on its way.</p>
<p>On arriving at the station join the single file (queue) of people
before the small window (guichet), where the tickets (billets) are sold.
Your turn having arrived, and having procured your ticket, proceed to
the luggage department, where deposit your baggage and deliver your
ticket to be stamped. 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>

the time-tables of the railway trains, those also of the steam-trams,
