The Excursionist's Guide; Or, Three Days In Paris By F.G. Busch And T.A. Day by Frederick Grant Bush is a practical early travel guide that helps visitors maximize a short stay in Paris. The text outlines a three-day itinerary designed to cover the city's principal sights while balancing grandeur with accessibility. It emphasizes affordable transport—omnibuses for a few sous and regulated cabs—and the use of a paper 'billet de correspondence' to streamline travel between routes. Highlights include the Louvre and its rich collections, the Tuileries, the Place de la Concorde, the Champs-Élysées, the Hôtel des Invalides, La Madeleine, Notre Dame, the Pantheon, and the Luxembourg, as well as museum annexes, the Gobelin tapestry manufactory, and the Jardin des Plantes. The guide also offers excursions to St. Cloud and Versailles and provides practical notes on opening hours, tickets, and passes for foreign visitors. Written in a period voice, it blends historical color with pragmatic advice, aiming to make Paris accessible to the curious traveler with limited time.
