"It was in the early 1920s that Travel developed in the Haut-Jura, thanks in large part to the progress of automobile circulation. A dozen new hotels sprung up in the mountains, the majority in Morez and Rousses” (Montagne, p. 149). And this outstanding view of Geneva as seen from a Mont Blanc descent–courtesy of the PLM rail and automobile service–is beyond breathtaking. How Dorival, in a two-dimensional format, can render such an expansive vista as to make the least claustrophobic feel as if they need to get out of their urban dwellings immediately is nothing short of remarkable.
