Recorded use
Wiktionary examplesThese source excerpts show how Smyrne appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
Les touristes visitent Chio, Smyrne et les grands souvenirs de la Troade. Très peu de voyageurs récents peuvent compter, parmi leurs excursions, un séjour à Mytilène.
On remarque, toutefois, que l'habitude du service des confitures tend à disparaître dans la société aristocratique de Smyrne qui la remplace par l’offre de fondants, fruits confits, chocolatines et bonbons variés : mais elle règne encore dans toutes les autres classes de la population levantine.
