The Irish-born Countess of Blessington, famous for her salon and her friendship with Byron, writes a travel journal of her stay in France around 1830. She admires the Roman amphitheatre and Maison Carrée at Nîmes, Arles and St.-Rémy, passes through Lyons and settles in Paris, recording salons, churches, fashions, theatres and the political mood of the day.
