| 520 | _a"A Year's Journey through France and Part of Spain, Volume 2" by Philip Thicknesse is a travelogue written in the late 18th century. This work details the author's experiences and observations during his travels through France and parts of Spain, focusing on the cultural, historical, and social aspects encountered along the way. The narrative includes encounters with various people, discussions on beauty, artistry, and local customs, particularly highlighting the architecture and ancient ruins, which reflects the author’s fascination with antiquity. At the start of the journey in Nîmes, Thicknesse describes his lodging arrangements with a beautiful and sophisticated woman, who is revealed to be the mistress of his landlord, Mons. Saigny. He recounts his impressions of both the town and its inhabitants, observing the local dynamics, including the tensions with his landlord that lead to confrontations. Additionally, myriads of Roman ruins, particularly the amphitheater, capture his attention, prompting reflections on the historical significance and decay of the once-grand structures. As Thicknesse transitions to Arles, he continues to explore the remnants of Roman civilization while making connections with locals, indicating his eagerness to delve into the rich tapestry of history and culture that defines the regions he visits.
