Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Quand On Voyage
Le fait acquis a une telle force, qu'on n'y songe bien t�t plus, quelque miraculeux qu'il soit. L'invention des chemins de fer, qui date � peine de vingt ou vingt - cinq ans, ne surprend plus personne; on est d�j� habitu� � ses prodiges. Transporter en une journ�e, du centre de la France � l'une de ses extr�mit�s, cent mille curieux et peut - � tre davantage, quoi de plus simple? Il ne s'agit que de multiplier les convois et les wagons. Cela e�t paru tout � fait chim�rique au commencement du si�cle.
