Elisabeth de Gramont, Duchess of Clermont-Tonnerre, who chronicled various aspects of Parisian life in her four-volume memoirs, wrote about him: "The Infante was certainly the most divertingly cynical little creature who ever amused Paris. Slim, pallid, round- and restless-eyed like a bird, sullen looking, with lovely hands like those of a Coëllo Infanta, he promenaded his lubricious little royal person from drawing-room to awful ''bouges'' and then, ingratiatingly and affectionately, he would sink like an abandoned ...

It is customarily divided into a western section, the Ponente Riviera, and an eastern sec ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Tribunal D'instance
In France, the ''Tribunal d'instance'' (literally "Court of First Instance") is a judicial lower court of record of first instance for general civil suits and includes a criminal division, the Police Court (''tribunal de police''), which hears cases of misdemeanors or summary offences (''contraventions'').

In the Court, proceedings are conducted based on oral testimony and arguments, and, unlike in higher courts, legal counsel is not mandatory.
