Remarks

At the end of the year 1559, Michel de l'Hospital, then chancellor to Marguerite of France, rejoined the latter at Dun-le-Roi, whence he accompanied her to Nice, where she was to meet her new husband, Emmanuel-Philibert, Duke of Savoy. Michel de l'Hospital dedicated his account of this journey to his friend Jacques du Faur, Master of Requests of the Parliament of Paris

“Mansit adhuc rari fornix operisque superbi Manserunt duri silices, et strata viarum Necdum etiam detrita pedum pressuque rotarum ; Dulcis aquæ ductus, et Græco more theatrum, Multaque saxa notis olim descripta Latinis.”
