paillon

"That is the river Paillon," said the driver, pointing to a diminutive stream in the midst of a wide stony bed.

If you had told me that the Pantheon had landed one fine night on the banks of the Paillon, I should not be more astonished.

The Paillon, as it is called, disappears at the Square Massna, and finds its way to sea through an underground channel.

The rocks in the channel of the Paillon appeared to be a bed of pebbles.
