An Oxford man travels from Paris through Burgundy to Lyons, then down the Rhone by Montélimar into Provence, noting the best views, where to find good lodgings and where to guard against imposition. Along the way he describes Roman ruins, religious processions, penitents at the cross and the island prison of the Man in the Iron Mask.
