Mild day but somewhat cloudy. Went to the cathedral, being Sunday, understood there would be a sermon. Finding no one there came away. The ancient pile appeared deserted. Was told afterward that the service was in a chapel in one of the aisles. Rumbled to the hill back of the town, found seats, and shaded gravel walks with a delightfull view . Not far distant from the cemetery, a funeral, four or five carriages. The hearse covered with garlands of flowers drawn by two horses, each with a leader. Very plain and ostentatious. Leave at midnight for Besancon - Vive la belle France.
