Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Wayfaring in France
The peasant women of France think more of gold ornaments than fine clothes. Hence it is that in the French provinces English travellers are frequently struck by the contrast (violent to them) in the same individual of very mean garments with jewellery that is neither mean nor pretentious, but solid and good.
