"Le voyage de Monsieur Perrichon" : l'un des chefs-d'œuvre du théâtre comique français, c'est aussi la première pièce connue qui soit consacrée au tourisme, aux chemins de fer et à la montagne.

La classique comédie amoureuse a donc pour toile de fond les affres des voyages, les aventures à la gare et le tourisme alpestre.
