Thermometer Table. — On the Continent thermometers are frequently graded for both Centigrade and Reaumur. Bradshaw's Guides, or simply Bradshaws, were travel guides published by W.J. Adams from 1839 and 1961. Bradshaw's timetables became less necessary from 1923, when more than 100 surviving companies were "grouped" into the Big Four. [3] This change reduced dramatically the range and number of individual timetables produced by the companies themselves. They now published a much smaller number of substantial compilations which between them covered the country. Chief town of Département de l’Yonne, on the River Yonne.

Grand Hotel du Louvre (Paris). This is Paris’s original “Grand Hotel,” the first large luxury hotel in France, the Grand Hotel du Louvre opened in 1855–just in time for the International Exhibition. It boasted some 300 richly decorated rooms, but in 1888 it had just been renovated, so guests were treated to an updated look. Coincidentally, the hotel is temporarily closed from January 2023 till some point this spring for yet another renovation. Maybe it’ll be a bit different to the hotel experienced by a Bradshaw traveller, but hey, it seems renovation and change was a thing even then. Reach, Angus B. & Hine, H. G. (1848).
