Along French Byways is a travelogue written by Clifton Johnson and published in 1900. The book takes readers on a journey through the French countryside, exploring the lesser-known regions and towns of France. Johnson’s vivid descriptions of the landscape, architecture, and people he encounters paint a rich and detailed picture of rural French life at the turn of the 20th century. The author shares his experiences of traveling by foot, bicycle, and train, and provides insights into the customs and traditions of the French people. The book is illustrated with over 200 photographs taken by the author, which add an extra layer of depth to the narrative. Along French Byways is a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era and a must-read for anyone interested in travel writing and French culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
