One of the most beautiful and romantic pictures is supplied by 165 In the Track of R. L. Stevenson the ancient castle of La Caze, which occupies a sheltered corner in a bend of the river, where above it the cliffs uprear with great hollows and rotundities, illustrating how in the un- known ages the water has eaten its way down from the upper level to its present bed. The Chateau de La Caze is set about by many tall and leafy trees, and one could imagine no holiday more enjoyable than a few days... passed here, for — Oh, ye romantic and practical Frenchmen ! — the castle has been transformed into an hotel, where all the appointments and even the costumes of the servants recall the Middle Ages in which it was built. As we approached, one of our boatmen took up a large conch and, blowing into it, set the gorge echoing as from a foghorn ; but we had decided not to visit the chateau, as it was our purpose to lunch farther down at La Malene, and the sounding of the conch was meant only to attract the attention of some of the servants, to whom our boatmen shouted that we had thrown on the river-bank about a quarter of a mile above the castle a sack of loaves for its inmates.
