A little tour in France by Henry James
"A little tour in France" by Henry James is a travel book published in 1884. James chronicles his six-week journey through provincial France, visiting towns like Tours, Bourges, Nantes, and Arles. Seeking to capture France beyond Paris, he observes ancient cathedrals, crumbling castles, and everyday life with wit and sharp detail. The book blends architecture criticism, historical commentary, and vivid encounters—from chatty nuns to shabby inns—all rendered in James's urbane, observant style
as he discovers the character of French provincial culture. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
