The Garonne--a river in southwest France and northern Spain
The Garonne is a river in Gascony near the family chateau of Emily St. Aubert. I would recommend sunscreen and sunglasses. If you want to see the Garonne someday, you should book a Viking River Cruise (after the plague is over and after you've become rich/retired). Fun fact: there are efforts to save the endangered European sea sturgeon in the Garonne, but in 1584 there were probably lots of sturgeons still--by the early 19th century they were over using them to produce caviar.

In this thread, start mapping Emily's travels in The Mysteries of Udolpho. Where does Emily go? Find a map. Mark the geography. What are some aspects of the landscape or the countries that Emily travels through? Are there any photographs? Fun facts? Would you recommend bringing suncreen and a bathing suit? Wellingtons or a pistol?
