Footnotes
A Although its appearance might suggest otherwise, the writer and four others (including ladies) were given an excellent dinner, clean rooms, and every possible attention at this little hotel. The car was put into a lofty barn at the end of the courtyard.
B Contemporary Review, September, 1909.
C April, 1909.
D These towers do not appear to be disused windmills, but, having omitted to make inquiries locally, the writer is unable to describe their uses. None of the French topographical writers on this part of France appear to consider them worthy of comment.
E They were an invention of Sir William Congreve in 1803.
F Fiona Macleod.
G Eagles are not uncommon in the Pyrenees. The writer noticed a large bird in the Pass of Velate which he took to be an eagle, but owing to the failing light it was impossible to be certain.
H Joanne gives the date 1765, but it is incorrect.
I The people in the neighbourhood of Albi were known as the Albigenses. They were of superior intelligence and education, and denounced the vices of the priesthood, the sacrifice of the Mass, Purgatory, and image-worship, and were therefore regarded as heretics.
J This is mentioned by Hare and Baedeker, but the writer has not seen it.
K The author would refer the reader to his volume ‘Along the Rivieras of France and Italy’ (Dent).
L 20 fr. Motor Union, 25 fr. Royal Automobile Club.
