Sinópse: Excerpt from La Comédie Humaine of Honoré De Balzac: The Muse of the Department; A Prince of Bohemia; A Man of Business; The Girl With Golden Eyes; Sarrasine Except in that part of Sancerre that occupies the plateau, the streets are more or less declivitous, and the town is surrounded by s10pes called the Grand Ram parts, a name which sufficiently describes the main streets of the town. Beyond these slopes lies a belt of Vineyards. Vine-growing is the principal industry, and wine the principal article of commerce of the district, which boasts of several native brands, with much bou quet, and so like the Burgundian product that untrained palates in Paris are sometimes deceived. Thus San cerre finds in Parisian wine-shops a quick market, which, indeed, is essential for wines that cannot be kept more than seven or eight years.
