Dedication
To Whom should the account of this journey be dedicated, if not to you dear Monsieur Charron, who has planned,
built and animated with a marvellous life, the wonderful motor car in which I undertook this journey, without
fatigue and without hitch?
I owe you this tribute for I owe you the innumerable joys of new impressions, a whole store of precious knowledge
that is not to be found in books, and months, entire months of total liberty far removed from my trivial affairs,
from my enormous worries and far from myself.
