The Adventures of M. D'Haricot

An exiled French royalist finds himself in an English ulster, gazing out of a railway carriage as the green fields and hedgerows rush past. He describes his recent flight from a failed royalist league, the Une, Deux, Trois, and the uneasy mix of melancholy and curiosity that colors his view of this strange land. With a tongue firmly in cheek, he promises a memoir that swings between clownish misadventures and the lingering shadows of political intrigue.

On the train he meets a calm, athletic stranger whose indifferent stare gradually turns into an unexpected camaraderie, hinting at the quirky friendships that await. Through witty observations of English customs—from cricket matches to foggy stations—our narrator balances nostalgia for his native chateau with a growing fascination for the unfamiliar. Listeners are invited to join his wandering thoughts as he navigates danger, comedy, and the simple pleasures of an English summer.
