"Itinerary of Provence and the Rhone" by John Hughes is a travel guide written in the early 19th century. The work serves as a companion for travelers visiting the described region, focusing on practical aspects such as noteworthy sights, accommodations, and local customs rather than a simple historical account. The book aims to offer insights into the landscapes and culture of Provence and the Rhône River, making it an enticing read for those interested in travel, exploration, or history. The opening of the itinerary sets the stage for a journey from Paris to Rochepot, showcasing Hughes' keen powers of observation. Hughes describes the bustling atmosphere of Paris and reflects on the diverse characters he encounters, emphasizing the unique vibrancy of life in the city. As he embarks on his journey, he considers not only the routes and accommodations but also the historical significance of places he passes, painting a vivid picture of the landscapes, people, and experiences that await travelers in the south of France. His narrative blends personal anecdotes with information on local history, setting an engaging tone for what promises to be a detailed exploration of Provence and the Rhône.
