Barn and the Pyrenees

CHAPTER XV
7/21

Some parts of these quays are bordered with trees, and, from the river, have a good effect.

The whole of this faubourg is on a grand scale.

The appellation of Chartrons, is said to be derived from Chartreux, a convent of that order having existed here.

The inhabitants of this quarter call themselves _Chartronnais_, and a remarkable difference is supposed to exist between them, both in countenance and manners, and those of the other Bordelais.

It is a common expression to say, _on va Chartronner_, when a person takes a walk along the quay.
