Speaking to an unidentified recipient, Jacques Chardonne shares his thoughts on " Royan [...] this amazing city ", almost completely destroyed during the Second World War: " There is here a unique social phenomenon I believe in France: a whole city ​​in "co-ownership". Which allowed to draw it with so much boldness and taste. I think that little has been said about this French curiosity. "City intimately linked to the childhood of the author, Royan gives off an atmosphere of mystery that strikes Chardonne:" I do not recognize the Charentais in this prodigality and this spirit of association. [...] Finally, there are many things to see and unravel; too obscure for me. "
