Description

Excerpt from Champlain: The Founder of New France Down on the southwest coast of France, Sprayed by the storm-driven waters of the Bay of Biscay, is the little hamlet of Brouage, now moldering into picturesque decay. From its ancient four-square walls, flanked with their seven bastions, and shaded by magnificent cen tury-old elms, you look out over the wide stretch of salt marshes which surround the place on three sides, and can trace the line of the old channel, now filled up, which once linked its harbor with the sea. Within the town a few inhabitants are still to be found, clattering along the little, ill-paved streets in their wooden sabots; but they seem to live in the past rather than in the present, and to be thinking of the bright days of an era now gone, when Brouage was a proud and pros perons seaport of Old France.
