Twain's experience at Bois de Boulogne was one of beauty and leisure. He watched the elite citizens of France parade by and claimed that the place was so beautiful that he could not do it justice in his description. He is less than impressed with most of the remainder of France, though the beauty of his train ride is well documented. However, with the bad experience in Marseille and with the gory exhibits in Notre Dame and the Morgue, Twain is disappointed in France so far.
