What does it mean for Proust's hero to travel around Europe? Which kind of look does he give at foreign landscapes?

It appears that the hero perceives, for instance, Venice views through his many artistic and literary readings, and combines intellectual and phenomenological views by the means of metaphor. The description that comes out from his camera obscura is the pure expression of a personal, unique "vision".
