Summary "Voyages en France pendant les années 1787, 1788, 1789" by Arthur Young is a historical account written in the late 18th century. This work serves as a travel journal in which Young documents his observations of the agricultural practices, landscapes, and social customs of France during a pivotal period just before the French Revolution. The narrative is not merely a recounting of his travels but also an analytical exploration of the impact of economic policies on the country. The opening of this travelogue introduces Young’s initial impressions as he arrives in Calais, highlighting the stark contrasts he notes from England—from the landscape to the social structure. Young meets various locals, including an acquaintance involved in agricultural improvements and reflects on the changes in society and agriculture he observes. He describes his journey through regions such as Boulogne and Amiens, sharing insights into the agricultural techniques and the people's living conditions while stepping into broader economic themes that would ultimately resonate with the political climate of France in the years leading to the Revolution.
