Itinerary of Provence and the Rhone: Made During the Year 1819
(1822)  Page(s) 183-184.  
 
May 14—After passing Fouzay and Demazan, two little villages, adorned each à la Provençal, with a ruined castle, we turned out of the road to Nismes at Remoulin, where the features of the country somewhat improved. Another mile and a half brought us to an indifferent inn within a ten minutes' walk of the Point du Gard. It is adapted for nothing more than a baiting-place for a few hours, and not at all of that description which so well-known a ruin would be in most cases capable of maintaining. The landlord, however, "a sallow, sublime sort of Werter-faced man," was civil, and inclined to do his best, and gathered us some double yellow roses, of a sort we had never seen before, to season his bad fare.
