| − | Also known as ''les galeries de l’Odéon'' or ''the Odéon galleries'' and located on Rue Rotrou, books and newspapers were sold in the galleries under the Odéon arcades. Anatole France's anecdote in "Sous les galeries de l'Odéon" (Under the Arcades of the Odéon) declares the arcade's bookstalls inaccessible to the French upper class; apparently the arcades were not known to them as a source of literary plenty, but were well known to the lower classes.<ref> France, Anatole, "Under the Arcades of the Odéon", in ''On Life and Letters'' from ''The Works of Anatole France in English Translation'', translated by D.

| − | ===Les Pampas de l'Amérique... les arcades de l'Odéon / Pampas of America... the Odéon arcades===
| |
| − | Tholomyès may have read about the pampas of South America from a book or newspaper at one of the bookstalls under the Odéon arcades. Perhaps the sellers in the Odéon galleries sold books of adventures and details of South America, such as ''Examen des Recherches Philosophiques sur L'Amerique et les Americains'', published in 1771, and ''Voyages dans l'Amérique méridionale, Volume 2'', published in 1809. Hence, Tholomyès need not go to exotic places himself.<ref> Searching "pampas de l'Amérique" in Google Books returns several 18th and 19th century French-language books plausibly available in the Odéon arcades. </ref>
