Summary/Abstract: When it comes to the Poles traveling in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries; France has turned out to be an obligatory destination. Magnates journeying through western Europe were eagerly reaching Paris in order to participate in courtly ceremonies – as observers – and to experience the everyday life in this capital of the world. The Radziwiłł family was no exception in this case; as its three members – Karol Stanisław; Michał Kazimierz “Rybeńko;” his son; and Teofila Konstancja; the daughter of the latter – had reached Paris. Because of their writing inclinations; we are in possession of three – entirely different – descriptions of France and its capital city.
