Flocking to Paris for literary tourism is one of the best bookish vacations you can take. The last time I went, I visited Edith Wharton’s home and swung by the wealth of bookstores. But outside of the literary history, people have been falling in love in Paris, and France in general, for generations. Historical romances set in France take on the lush, beautiful parts of the country as the settings for love stories.

The historical romances are a lot less Emily in Paris and a lot more Nellie Bly. Women traveling on their own around the world, especially in the 18th and 19th centuries, were very intrepid by necessity. These are a few exciting historical romances to get started on your time-travel journey into France.
