Napoleon’s British Visitors and Captives 1801–1815
(Edinburgh, 1904), p. 25; Daniel Roche, ‘The English in Paris’, in Christophe Charle, Julien Vincent and Jay Winter (eds),

Resisting Napoleon
, pp. 217–40). As for the number of French visitors to Britain, between December 1802 and April 1803 the British embassy in Paris issued over 3,300 passports (Grainger,
The
Amiens Truce
, pp. 130–1). The discrepancy came about in part because there was no French tradition of visiting Britain, whereas the British tour of the Continent was a long-established ritual.
