介绍（中）	对于传教士，勒格雷被分配到卢瓦尔河谷和南部波尔多的地区;梅斯特拉尔将覆盖西南部，从波尔多到佩皮尼昂和奥弗涅。但两人决定一起旅行，有时拍摄彼此名单上的地点，偶尔合作，正如这幅版画右下角勒格雷手中的题词"Gustave Le Gray et Mestral"所示。在他们的行程中，没有一个景点比卡尔卡松市产生更引人注目的图像，其十三世纪的防御工事是中世纪军事建筑的杰出典范。这些照片对现代观众特别感兴趣，因为它们是卡尔卡松在欧仁·维奥莱·勒·杜克（Eugène Viollet-le-Duc）指导下开始大规模重建之前罕见的图片记录。卡尔卡松的双层墙壁上点缀着塔楼，为摄影师提供了一个令人钦佩的主题，适合捕捉几何表面上光影的细微差别，也与历史意义产生共鸣。回顾一个早已消失的时代，环法德自行车赛 - 城市最大，最坚不可摧的塔楼 - 主导了这幅画，在规模上与古代一样，其底部附近的简单墓碑相形见绌。在这里，勒格雷和梅斯特拉尔提出了一篇关于人及其作品在时间流逝中的地位的文章。
介绍（英）	For the Missions Héliographiques, Le Gray was assigned the Loire Valley and the regions just to the south, toward Bordeaux; Mestral was to cover the southwest, from Bordeaux to Perpignan, and the Auvergne. But the two decided instead to travel together, sometimes photographing sites on one another's list and occasionally working in collaboration, as indicated by the inscription in Le Gray's hand at the lower right of this print, "Gustave Le Gray et Mestral." No site on their itinerary yielded more dramatic images than the city of Carcassonne, its thirteenth-century fortifications an outstanding model of medieval military architecture. These photographs are of special interest to modern viewers as a rare pictorial record of Carcassonne just prior to the extensive reconstruction begun under the direction of Eugène Viollet-le-Duc. Carcassonne's double walls, punctuated with towers, provided the photographers with a subject admirably suited to catching the nuances of light and shadow on geometric surfaces and one also resonant with historical import. Recalling an epoch long since vanished, the Tour de la Vade-the largest and most impregnable of the city's towers-dominates the picture, dwarfing in scale as it does in antiquity the simple grave markers near its base. Here Le Gray and Mestral present an essay on the place of man and his works in the passage of time.
