Our latest offering in the series of Gautier's travel writings is his  'A Tour in Belgium' ('Un Tour en Belgique') which can be browsed and downloaded here.

On Gautier’s visit to Belgium in 1836, from July to September, he was accompanied by his friend Gérard de Nerval, nicknamed Fritz. They crossed the border on foot. Ten years later, in 1846, Gautier travelled by train to Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands. He combined his notes on the journeys into this travel-piece, published in his collection Zigzags.
