Summary: "The Stranger in France: or, A Tour from Devonshire to Paris" by John Carr is a travel narrative written in the early 19th century. The book recounts the author's experiences during a journey from England to France, reflecting on the social and political transformations occurring in France following the Revolution. Through the eyes of Carr and his companions, the narrative captures the encounters with various characters, including French emigrants and locals, illuminating their stories and sentiments against the backdrop of a changing political landscape. At the start of the book, the author describes the atmosphere in Devonshire and Southampton as he prepares to embark on his journey to France.

Following their departure, Carr and his companions face various experiences, including interactions with French emigrants at Southampton, who express deep emotions as they prepare to return to their homeland after years of separation due to the Revolution.
