- ↑ We do not know anything about the letters that Proust would have exchanged with the Duc and Duchesse de Clermont-Tonnerre on this subject. - At Glisolles (a village situated 13 kilometres from Évreux), they possessed an enormous château (built in the XVIIIth century) and a small modern cottage. Proust made a brief visit there on his return from Cabourg, in 1907 (see his letter of thanks of [beginning of October 1907]: CP 01707; Kolb, VII, no. 154, in which the "light Nowegian wainscotting" probably refers to the cottage, whereas the "old French canvases" evoke a visit to the château). The expression "a whole part of Glisolles" must indicate a wing or a floor of the château, which would have been put at Proust's disposal. [PK, FL]
