A Little Tour in France (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781722783396)

Often considered to be a classic literary guidebook, A Little Tour in France was first published in 1884 and is a first person narrative of Henry James's travels through and thoughts on this country. From Tours to Dijon, James tells of the towns and cities, the church and inns, the museums and palaces. Wishing to see what lay beyond the bounds of the "celestial city", Henry James devoted much of the Autumn of 1882 to his tour of France. Beginning at Tours, the birthplace of Balzac, he went on various excursions to the great chateaux of the Loire - including Blois, Chambord and Chenonceaux. Then he made his leisurely way south to the heart of the Midi and to the historic cities of Nantes, Bordeaux, Carcassonne, Nimes and Avignon. This book recounts his travels.
