Excerpt from Histoire des Rochelais, Vol. 2: Racontée A Julien Méneau par Son Grand-Père
Mais ce n'est pas l'histoire du protestantisme français c'est celle des Rochelais que j'essaie de te raconter, mon Julien, et ce que j'ai a chercher avec toi, ce sont les motifs qui décidèrent la Rochelle à s'ouvrir à l'assemblée et à se lier à sa fortune. Car, il faut bien le dire, si la chute d'un homme date non pas du moment où il atteint le fond d'un gouffre, mais de celui où il roule sur la pente qui l'y conduit infailliblement, la chute de la Rochelle date de 1620 seulement elle mit huit ans à tomber.
