Excerpt from Un Fils Unique: Nouvelle
A la simple vue de cet endroit, on comprend que des colons arrivant dans le pays n'aient pas hésité à s'y établir. La campagne est large tout autour, et s'é tend assez loin du côté de la plaine et du Jura; le sol y est riche, d'une culture facile. Du côté de la mon tagne, les terrains se'creusent en dépression peu pro fonde, assez cependant pour donner passage a l'écou lement d'un ruisseau, dont la source n'est qu'à une petite distance des habitations. A partir de ce léger val, les champs et les prairies s'élèvent peu a peu et finissent par atteindre les premières côtes du Jura, qui se dressent toutes chargées de sapins et de hêtres, tandis que leurs voisines de France présentent de grands espaces dénués de bois.
