To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Among them we find furniture of buhl, porcelain of Sevres and Japan, a world of curiosities, and an untold wealth of satins, and the richest of merchandise, sold cheaper, because stored cheaper, than in the luxurious shops of the Rue Vivienne and Rue de la Paix. The stupefied customer, who sought a cheap baga- telle, finds himself confronted in these obscure retreats by ar- tistic caprices to be had for no less than 10,000 francs each.
The second quarter, the Pavilion of Flora* a little less ar
...is- tocratic than the preceding, comprises the more useful house- hold objects, of a cheap and dubious character.
In the third, " le Pou Volant" (the reader will pardon me the translation), rags, old iron, and indescribable wares pre- dominate. The fourth, and most hazardous, is "the Black Forest," a medley of every cheap abomination, new and sec- ond-hand. * This bazar has its peculiar slang and types of inhabitants.
The little shops are called "ayons" Hugo naively remarks, why not "haillons" The curious observer can penetrate the first two quarters without other inconvenience than repeated but courteous applications for his custom.
