Originally published under the title En Provence as a serial in The Atlantic Monthly, A Little Tour of France recounts James' six-week tour throughout the provincial towns of Provence between 1883 and 1884 including Tours, Bourge, Nantes, Toulouse and Arles among others. Although he tried moving to Paris before settling in London in 1876, James returned to France in 1882 and discovered the provincial towns of the French countryside. He wrote in a letter to personal friend Isabella Gardner after this second visit: "I have seen more of France than I had ever seen before, and on the whole liked it better."
