Comments

A lively tourist guide to Paris, with recommendations for cafes, wine, travel by coach, notable monuments and buildings, dealing with the border police, currency exchange, etc. Five Weeks Tour was sufficiently popular that it went through four editions; the final one was issued in 1765. William Lucas apparently published nothing else.
