+\emph{The lake of Geneva} by Sir Frederick Treves (1922); chapter XXXVI}}
+
+Cully, midway between Vevey and Lausanne, is a little town of 1,100
+inhabitants. It can look back very far into the past, for there was a time
+when the lounger on the beach of Cully would have seen in the bay a lake
+village, an amphibious camp made up of thatched roofs and huts on a submerged
+field of piles. Later on the idler would have seen Roman legionaries and
+Roman merchants halting by the road, since Cully seems to have been a posting
+station or wayside caravanserai of some significance.
+
+Cully, from its earliest days, has been devoted to the making of wine.
+It has probably made wine ever since wine-making was known in Europe.
+It makes wine still and makes it well and, indeed, does nothing else.
+Grapes and the winepress are the symbols of its being, the subject of
+its thoughts and the mark of its ambition. A bunch of grapes on a
+branch constitutes the ancient arms of Cully. They are grapes, it may
+be noticed, of such size and quality that they would seem to proclaim
+to the world, \emph{these are the grapes of Cully.} Someone, inspired
+by a sense of the fitness of things, has surmised that there was once a
+temple to Bacchus at Cully, but unfortunately the suggestion is
+unfounded. There are, however, other memorials which may prove as
+significant. One day in the year 1832 a man digging in a vineyard by
+Cully unearthed a little bronze statuette of a Bacchante. It would seem
+to tell the story of a Roman wine-grower whose admiration of Bacchus
+was such that he kept this figure in his house. When the barbarians
+were seen to be swarming over the hills above Cully one can imagine him
+taking the image from its niche and hiding it among his vines. One must
+further suppose that he was killed or made prisoner, since certain it
+is that he never carne back to claim the figure he cherished. So for
+nearly two thousand years a votary of Bacchus lay hid in the vineyards
+of Cully.
+
+The records of Cully go back to the 10th.\ century. It once belonged to
+the bishops, who did little but quarrel about their claims since the
+town was in the ecclesiastical parish of Villette. It seems to have
+been only feebly fortified, but possessed in 1577 both a \emph{carcan}
+and a \emph{virolet}\@. The former was a collar for the neck of
+criminals exposed to public view, and the latter a cage in which they
+were confined for convenient exhibition, to the delight, no doubt, of
+the boys of the place.\footnote{\emph{Carcans} of various types are to
+be seen in the Vevey Museum.}
+
+
+Cully is an interesting spot in many ways. It has, in the first place,
+the most picturesque promenade on the Lake, a wide, leisurely promenade
+dignified by a row of fine old Lombardy poplars. On this parade is a
+monument to \mbox{Major} Davel, who was a \emph{bourgeois} of Cully. The
+gallant Davel raised the standard of rebellion in 1723 with the forlorn
+hope of ridding Vaud of the dominion of Berne. He failed, and was
+executed at Vidy, near Lausanne, on April 24th, 1723.
+
+A still more charming feature of this unpretentious town is displayed
+by the number of old houses that it contains, and especially by their
+beautiful doorways. Close to the church is an old building called the
+Sordet House. It, being very antique, is smothered with stucco,
+according to the Swiss custom. Its main feature is a square tower, on
+one angle of which --- almost buried in plaster --- is a fine Gothic
+niche. The doorway in the base of the tower is of handsomely carved
+stone, and bears the inscription, ``1521. A.S.'' The letters are the
+initials of Aim\'{e} Sordet. The door opens upon a wide stone stair, the
+walls of which are ornamented at intervals with elaborate and curious
+pieces of carving, representing heads, coats of arms, reptiles and a
+man playing the bagpipes. The arms of the Sordet family, it may be
+noted, were a serpent with a gold crown. On the south wall of the
+house, which looks into a quaint courtyard, is an escutcheon, with on
+it a figure, helmet and lambrequin carved in stone. The house is now
+divided into poor tenements.
+
+In the courtyard is a remarkable medi\ae val bench fashioned, or rather
+dug out, from the trunk of a tree, for it is in one solid piece. Wood
+can show its age in many ways. It may become black; it may become grey;
+it may be friable, riddled with worm-holes and covered with
+snuff-coloured dust. This bench is, how- ever, as hard as a stone, as
+sunburnt as a summer fisherman and free from evidences of decay. Age
+shows itself in the extraordinary degree in which it is wrinkled. No
+shrivelled-up centenarian could show wrinkles so intricate nor furrows
+so deep.
+
+The Sordets were great people in Cully in the 16th.\ century, and by
+reason of holding the \emph{seigneurie} of Ropraz (near M\'{e}zi\`{e}res,
+north-east of Lausanne) had the status of noblemen. Aim\'{e} Sordet was one
+of the representatives, on the side of the Reformers, chosen to take
+part in the famous Religious Conference held at Lausanne in October,
+1536.
+
+There is another beautifully carved doorway in the town, bearing on the
+lintel the inscription, ``1520. A. IESVS MARIA. S.,'' the first and
+last letters being the initials of the same Aim\'{e} Sordet. Among other
+notable stone entries in the town may be mentioned one with the date
+1525 and the Sacred Heart in stone, another with the year 1598 over a
+round arch very curiously ornamented, and a third of much dignity
+marked by the date 1684. One humble doorway --- a simple square entry
+of stone --- must not be overlooked. It is crowned by a little head,
+the head of a nun with a pretty face and a most becoming coif. Her
+story would be interesting to know, for she must have been, at one
+time, the beauty of Cully.
+
+The interiors of certain of the ancient houses in the town have changed
+but little during the last three or four hundred years. There are still
+to be seen the worn stone stair, the great carved beams in the ceiling,
+the 16th century windows and the doorway that would seem to pertain to
+a convent cell rather than to a modern kitchen.
