(This file was produced from images generously made available by the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF/Gallica) "Les petits vagabonds" by Jeanne Marcel is a fictional work likely written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around two orphaned siblings, César and Aimée, who endure hardship and poverty in Paris, selling flowers as a means to survive. They rely on their only friend, Balthasar, a clever yet scruffy dog, who remains loyal despite their dire circumstances. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to César and Aimée, two young orphans living under the care of a neglectful tuteur, Joseph Ledoux. The opening chapters depict their miserable existence, wandering the streets of Paris, selling flowers, and dreaming of a better life. César occasionally questions their past, but Joseph always dismisses their inquiries. One day, while trying to earn a living, the siblings receive a piece of gold from a kind lady, which fills them with hope. However, Joseph's greed and cruelty quickly extinguish any joy they might have felt. Ultimately, their journey leads them to a chance encounter with good-hearted villagers who take them in, offering a glimpse of a more hopeful and nurturing life as they navigate the challenges of their precarious existence.
