anteros_lmcI'm off to Paris for a coulple of days for a conference. This is how The Times described it in 1802.
"Paris, under the Regent of Orleans, was not so profligate and corrupt as it appears to our best travellers at present. Gambling, debauchery, intemperance, and the insatiable desire after public spectacles, with all the vices in the train of indolence and licentiousness, form the monotonous indiscriminable character of the Citizens."
The Times, 23rd September 1802
Sounds like fun no? Sadly I think my conference will be rather less entertaining.
Quoted in Alger, J. G., (1904) Napoleon's British Visitors and Captives, Archibald Constable and Company, Ltd., Westminster.
