In the Track of R. L. Stevenson and Elsewhere in Old France is a travelogue by John Alexander Hammerton. Excerpt: “Together with a friend I had spent some rainy but memorable days at Le Puy in the summer of 1903, waiting for fair weather to advance on this little highland town, which 5lies secure away from railways and can only be reached by road. A bright morning in June saw us gliding on our wheels along the excellent route nationale that carries us thither on a long, easy gradient.”
