"Je comprends que de riches provinciaux, qui se sentent en exil à Tourcoing ou Abbeville, viennent à Megève, voir du beau monde, à tous prix."

Autograph letter signed by Jacques Chardonne with his initials, 14 lines in blue ink.
Fold inherent to mailing. A date has been added at the top of the letter (February 66), probably the date this missive was received by the addressee.
A small ink stain at the foot of the letter.
Jacques Chardonne congratulates his correspondent on his departure for a trip to Megève even though he recommends that he disdain, as a "young king of Paris" this kind of place, just good enough to impress: "rich provincials, who feel in exile in Tourcoing or Abbeville (sic), and who come to Megève, to see high society, at any cost" and to prefer to this resort other places more beautiful and less expensive : "... if it's about mountains, for health, you have others just as beautiful elsewhere, for a quarter of the price".
