Dares say already made up his mind about Paris - Paris to Chalons by rail in very comfortable carriages with hot water bottles by feet. Start from Chalons at 10.00 next morning to reach Lyons that day - embark at 10.00 on Rhone to Valence that night - onto Avignon next day by 2.00 to reach Manchester same night. Advises at least a day in Avignon very rich in interesting antiquities. Allow at least 36 hours in Marseilles for passport bothers. Choice of boats to Messina - but advises French mail packets.
