Note 189 — XXII. 1785. August 8–17. TWELVE DAYS’ STATE AT BAR-SUR-AUBE.

“Some of the De la Mottes’ fine furniture may still be seen at Bar-sur-Aube, in the salon of the son of a former postmaster of the place, who subsequently bought the house itself of the count. To-day, improvements in the town of Bar-sur-Aube have necessitated the partial destruction of the De la Motte abode, fragments of which exist in no less than three separate streets.”—Letter from the Curé of Bar-sur-Aube to the author, 1866.
