A Little Tour in France
1883
A Little Tour in France is a travel narrative by American author Henry James, first published in 1883. The book chronicles a six-week journey through various provincial towns in France, such as Tours, Bourges, and Toulouse, emphasizing the rich culture and landscapes beyond Paris. James critiques the common American perception of France as solely Paris, presenting an homage to the provinces and their unique charm. The work was initially serialized in The Atlantic Monthly and later published as a book in 1884, with a revised edition in 1900 featuring illustrations by Joseph Pennell.
