- Description: Le Corbusier, pseudonym of Charles-Édouard Jeanneret-Gris (La Chaux-de-Fonds, October 6, 1887 – Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, August 27, 1965), was a Swiss-French architect, urban planner, painter, and designer, considered one of the most influential figures in the history of contemporary architecture and one of the masters of the Modern Movement alongside Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Frank Lloyd Wright, Walter Gropius, and Alvar Aalto. A pioneer in the use of reinforced concrete and one of the fathers of contemporary urban planning, his works were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List. In 1911, Le Corbusier and August Klipstein embarked on a journey through Eastern Europe, the Balkans, Turkey, and Italy, keeping diaries and creating sketches and photographs along the way

While Klipstein's interests were more focused on research for his doctoral thesis, Le Corbusier's impressions were more immediate, his mindset more romantic.
- Description: Jerome K. Jerome was an English humorist famed for Three Men in a Boat (1889), a fictionalized but autobiographical account of a leisurely two-week boating holiday on the Thames. Originally meant as a travel guide, the comic episodes overshadowed serious intent, giving rise to one of the most beloved travel comedy books. In 1891 he authored Diary of a Pilgrimage, chronicling a journey from London to Germany to attend the Oberammergau Passion Play. Witty essays on luggage dilemmas, seasickness, German beds, and local encounters layer the tiny travelogue with charm and gentle satire

- Description: Henry James was an American-born author who later became a naturalized British subject, known for his insightful literary travel writing. In 1882 he embarked on a provincial tour of France, avoiding Paris in favor of smaller towns; these articles, originally published under En Province (1883–84) in The Atlantic Monthly, were later collected in A Little Tour in France (1884) and extensively revised in the 1900 illustrated edition with artwork by Joseph Pennell. Covering places like Tours, Bourges, Toulouse, Arles, and Avignon, James explores architecture, history, local society, and cultural heritage. He famously asserted, "France may be Paris, but Paris is not France"
