Two young Scotsmen, the future historian Archibald Alison and Patrick Fraser Tytler, reached Paris while the allied armies occupied it after Napoleon’s abdication. They describe the city, its people and its politics, then stay at Aix in Provence as news comes that Bonaparte has landed from Elba, and journey through a France on the brink of the Hundred Days.
