"The Journal of Montaigne's Travels in Italy by Way of Switzerland and Germany" by Michel de Montaigne is a historical account written in the late 16th century. This work details the philosopher's journey through various regions, providing insights into the places he visited and the people he encountered. The journal reflects Montaigne's observations of culture, society, and his thoughts on travel in an era markedly different from today. At the start of the journal, Montaigne is accompanied by a party including his younger brother and a couple of companions as they embark on their travels from France towards Italy. Their journey begins with descriptions of the towns they visit, such as Meaux and Dormans, where Montaigne provides rich details about local curiosities, historical landmarks, interactions with locals, and observations of customs and practices. The opening portrays not only the geographical and cultural landscape of the regions but also Montaigne's humor, curiosity, and philosophical musings about life as he journeys through these foreign lands.
