Summary "Vijftien dagen te Londen, op het einde van 1815" by A.-J.-B. Defauconpret is a travel narrative written in the early 19th century. The book recounts the author's experiences and observations during his stay in London shortly after the end of the Napoleonic Wars. Through the perspective of a French visitor, the text explores cultural contrasts between England and France while highlighting various customs, societal norms, and the character of English life. The opening of the book introduces the protagonist as he navigates the bureaucratic hurdles involved in traveling to England from France. He experiences a frustrating wait at the Dover customs office before finally securing a passport to enter London. As he arrives and settles into his accommodations, the protagonist humorously critiques the English hospitality and culinary habits, contrasting them with his own French expectations. This sets the tone for a satirical exploration of British society, filled with insightful comments on the differences in culture, manners, and everyday life that the traveler observes during his two-week stay in London.
