"A Trip to Paris in July and August 1792" by Richard Twiss is a travelogue written in the late 18th century. This detailed account chronicles the author's journey to Paris during a tumultuous period in French history, specifically amidst the early stages of the French Revolution. The book offers insights into the political tensions of the time, as well as the culture and society of Paris, providing a unique perspective on significant events and locales that shaped the era. The opening of the travelogue introduces Twiss's motivations for visiting Paris, including his interest in witnessing the effects of the Revolution firsthand and exploring the gardens around the city. He describes his journey from Calais, detailing encounters with passport regulations and the vibrant landscapes along the way. In his initial observations, Twiss highlights the changes in the cultural atmosphere following the Revolution, noting the significance of symbols such as the national cockade and the evident transformation in public spaces, including gardens and market places.
