"It came on its return to hold garrison in our walls; one ' raised to him, on the place external of the gate of Aix, a provisional triumphal arch in fabric, on which the high facts of the regiment during the memorable countryside were duly glorifiés. The town council voted at the same time the erection of stone a triumphal monument of Arles, intended to proclaim at the future and even moved back centuries the glory of the French heroes of 1823 and especially the chevaleresques prowesses of their illustrissime captain, Monseigneur the duke of Angoulê, which, with the statement of practical joker (probably of these daring young people of the coffee of Mrs. Balp, who with the French song: Live the king! Live France! opposed irreverently: Malbrouk (sic) from goes away hold war), had become so bold since its exploit of Trocadero, which it dared outward journey to lie down without candle. This expenditure, if enormous and if little justified, were not voted of it with the unanimous acclamations consulting. Soon, one started to work (14) with the immense foundations of the triumphal arch which exists now. I followed his construction day per day. There are perhaps more stones out of ground under the monument than out of ground. When the building was about completed, the revolution of July burst. This girl of the same people, enemy of the so-called royal winners and the official lies at their address, hastened to change the label of the monument bourbonien. She dedicated it to her older sister of 1789 and 1793. Later another revolution, this time left in top, brought other currents in the political ideas. In September 1852, a new lying inscription as all those which flattered the power, but this time only painted in black and incised either in the stone, solemnized on its frontispice the recognition of Marseilles for President Empereur Louis Bonaparte. Today this triumphal arch, which cost million and which, thanks to the David sculptors of Angers and Ramey (15), is a beautiful thing after all, is considered more by our utility municipal officials only one embarrassment on the public highway. One speaks to transplant it elsewhere, and such engineer of estaminet finds simple as egg of Christophe Colomb to detach the monument of his base, to introduce under iron rollers, to raise it then entire on a truck ad hoc and to thus transport it like a soap case, where it will be wanted, on new foundations expressly prepared to receive it... if you do not want to believe in it, test and you will see!..."
