16/05/2013

Product Synopsis

Extrait: La mission de cette ronde tait d'explorer ce vaste quartier qui s' tend de la route de Fontainebleau la Seine, depuis les boulevards ext rieurs jusqu'aux fortifications. Ces parages d serts avaient alors la f cheuse r putation qu'ont aujourd'hui les carri res d'Am rique. S'y aventurer de nuit tait r put si dangereux, que les soldats des forts venus Paris, avec la permission du spectacle, avaient ordre de s'attendre la barri re et de ne rentrer que par groupes de trois ou quatre.
