You can think of it as a route that goes all the way round and leaves nothing out. Not a visit to one place, but a loop: every city, every room, every stage, and back to where you started. The word grand is doing the work — it says the loop is the complete version, the one where you see the lot. That is why the same words can cover three years of Europe, three weeks around Italy, and four minutes around a friend's flat; only the size of the loop changes.
