Hotel D' Angleterre, à Hyeres, tenu par le Sieur Jean Denis Giraud, Proprietaire.—A l'avantage du point de vue magnifique dont on jouit des appartemens de cet Hôtel, presque tous situés au midi, et entourés d'une belle orangerie; rien n'a été épargné encore pour l'agrément des voyageurs: Parterre, promenades en terrasses, salon de bain, amblement recherché, vaste remise, diverses ecuries; enfin tout ce qui peut rendre un etablissement de ce genre agréable et commode, s'y trouve parfaitement reuni.
Which, on the reverse, for the information of those whom it may concern, is thus elegantly translated:—
'England Inn, at Hyeres, holded by Mr. John Denis Giraud, Head land lord.—Has the advantage of beautiful perspective of which it is enjoyed by the apartments of this Inn, almost situated at south, surrounded by a fine orange-trees, flower-garden, terrass-walks, parlours, baths, rooms neatly furnished; great coach-house, many stables, in fine all that is able to make an agreeable and convenient settlement of this sort, is perfectly meeted therein.'
If the English language is so little understood even in matters of hourly attention, what must it be in works of science and deep thought!
