Voyages en France pendant les années 1787, 1788, 1789

The author records a series of travels across French provinces, combining day-by-day journal entries with practical surveys of agriculture, markets, and rural life. Observations include farming techniques, land tenure, yields and costs, local customs and regional contrasts, often compared to practices observed elsewhere. Interleaved reflections examine how economic policies and social structures shape prosperity and scarcity, with numerical estimates and methodological notes intended to inform policymakers and cultivators. The work balances detailed empirical reporting with cautious commentary on political and social tensions present during the period.
