Hi Margaret and list, How wonderful that you have the ticket!! Can you imagine the thrill of that trip - of course, with the probable hardships...Do you think that their agent organized their stay at the Paris Hotel? I just figured out the trek and it was 457 miles from Mulhouse to LeHavre, and 117 miles from Glarus to Mulhouse. In today's world, it could be traveled in about 9 hours. But on the slow moving trains of those days, it was probably one long day. Any input from Bernadette, Jacques or Erich would be appreciated by many of us, I am sure.

I have the actual ticket and it states that they stayed at a hotel in Paris before arriving for the ship at Le Havre. The ship was named, Canada.
