1. The vast chestnut forests seen from Ponteils, the mountainous Cevennes hamlet where Gabrielle's paternal ancestors lived.
2. Gabrielle's great-grandfather's inn, “the Chanel.” Today, the shutters firmly shut, its stony bulk has an air of neglect.
3. The Aubazine convent-orphanage where Gabrielle lived for many years.
4. The earliest known photograph of Gabrielle, with Adrienne at Vichy
c.
1904.
5. Etienne Balsan on military service,
c.
