At his command it was begun in 1803, and finished in 1810, at an expenditure of seven millions and a half of francs. An inn, called the "Grande Croix," and a group of buildings for the use of guides and muleteers, showed me that I was at the highest point of the pass. The perpetual wind that blows on every mountain top greeted us with true alpine severity as we rode along the little plain at the extremity of which stands the Hospice, founded in the ninth century by Charles the Great, who crossed the mountain with his whole army.
