# Travels through France and Italy

By T. Smollett.

"Travels through France and Italy" by Tobias Smollett is a travel book published in 1766. Written as a series of letters from a two-year journey through France and Italy, the work documents Smollett's observations with sharp wit and acerbic commentary on French and Italian customs, hygiene, and society. His frequently critical tone appealed to British readers but later made him the target of Laurence Sterne's satire. The book helped popularize the French Riviera among British travelers and influenced the development of travel literature. (Summary by Project Gutenberg, written by machine.)
