The Roof of France or the Causses of the Lozère (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Roof of France: Or the Causses of the Lozère The affability, dignity, and uprightness of these mountaineers, their freedom from vulgarity, subservience, or habits of extortion, their splendid physique and great personal beauty, form novel experiences of travel. The general character Of the people - here I do not allude to the 'causse nard, ' or dweller on the Causse alone, buti to the Lozérien as a type - may be gathered from one isolated fact. The summer sessions of 1888 were what is called assz'zes élancnes, there being not a single cause to try. Such an occurrence is not unusual in this department.
