Subject: Series of articles (in French) on travels in Alsace and Lorraine

Among the journals that have been digitized by the Bibliothèque
nationale is one called Le Tour du monde : nouveau journal des
voyages, published in Paris between 1860 and 1914. In the
mid-1880s this journal ran a series of articles by Charles
Grad, an Alsatian deputy to the German Reichstag, that
documented his travels through Alsace and Lorraine. These
articles formed the base for Charles Grad's book L'Alsace : le pays et ses habitants (Paris : Hachette, 1889; and later
editions). That book has also been digitized by the BnF.
Below I give links to the serialized articles and then to the
book.

Article "A travers l'Alsace et la Lorraine"
(this is probably not a complete set, since the BnF's
collection of Le Tour du monde seems to be missing some
volumes during this period)

You can navigate within these resources using the
< [back] and > [forward] buttons, or by going to the
table of contents ("Aller Table des Matières") in the
book and then putting a specific page number into the
Aller Page box.

Happy reading.
