Arques
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia
"DIEPPE, department of the Seine Inférieure, is situated at the mouth of the river Arques. It is a handsome town, of great antiquity ; but some of the streets are narrow and filthy. This town is much frequented during the season as a watering-place. An elegant modern building has been erected on the road for the accommodation of seabathers ; it is light and airy, ornamented with Ionic columns, and possesses billiard and reading rooms."--The Stranger's Guide to Paris (1837) by J.
