Provides a miserable account of his journey to Paris; lays out his first impressions of the streets, houses and buildings of Paris; some of the churches contain fine works by the old masters; dress is carried "to extravagance", so he wears his sword, although not a muff; he is not tempted by the women, but notes that they try their best with what's available to them.
