Louise Colet, a french poet, mostly known for her affair with Gustave Flaubert, wrote mostly novels and travel books. In « Les derniers marquis » she tells the season she spent in the Pyrenees at les Eaux-Chaudes and les Eaux-Bonnes and she describes in a very comic way the plots that happened between the people there.
