Summary "East of Paris: Sketches in the Gâtinais, Bourbonnais, and Champagne" by Miss Betham-Edwards is a travel narrative written during the late 19th century. The book explores various regions of Eastern France, detailing the author's observations of quaint towns, landscapes, and local life. Through her sketches, the author aims to unveil the beauty and charm of lesser-known areas, inviting readers to experience the richness of these French locales alongside her travels. At the start of the narrative, the author expresses her eagerness to share her journeys through areas that have not been covered in her previous works. She reflects on the charm of different towns, including Melun, with its picturesque scenery and rich history. The opening describes the author's desire to engage deeply with the places she visits, offering tantalizing glimpses into the towns that form the backbone of her sketches, such as Moret-sur-Loing and Bourron. As she takes her readers on a leisurely exploration, she paints vivid pictures of her experiences, focusing on the natural beauty, historical relevance, and cultural surroundings of the regions explored.
