It is not that, but alowland scene of the most exquisite beauty, with the added charmand poetry of remote mountainous distances. The perfectionof the scene from Trevoux consists in the presence of differentelements in sufficient but not overpowering strength. The riversweeps in one magnificent curve from north to south, calm asthe tranquil sky that it reflects, its breadth spanned only in oneplace by the thin festoons of the suspension bridge. There arethe well-wooded islands above the bridge, and graceful groups oftrees on the rich green banks below. Beyond the river a fertileplain stretches far away to the foot of the Mont dOr, and themore distant mountains of Tarare. Those of the Beaujolais risein pale azure beyond the darkening woods.
