| Summary |
"Souvenirs d'un sexagénaire, Tome III" by A.-V. Arnault is a memoir written in the early 19th century. The work appears to document the author's experiences during a journey from Paris to Milan, highlighting interactions with historical figures and reflections on personal observations. The narrative offers insights into travel during a significant period, capturing both the beauty of the landscapes and the intrigue of events occurring throughout. The opening of this memoir begins with the author's departure from Paris in the spring of 1797, as he reflects on his journey through the picturesque landscapes of France, which he contrasts with the previous year’s experience in a harsher winter setting. Describing the regions he traverses, he notes the beauty of the forests and rivers, while also encountering challenges such as a swift-flowing Loire River that temporarily halts traffic. Furthermore, he introduces the presence of his travel companion, Leclerc, and their urgent passage across the river, providing a vivid sense of adventure and anticipation as they venture toward Milan and the unfolding events of the time, including an anticipated meeting with General Bonaparte. The portion reflects the author's impressions of the landscape and the people he encounters, laying the groundwork for the historical and personal narratives to follow.
