Who were the great French explorers who shaped the discovery of the world over the centuries? From Antiquity to modern times, these adventurers criss-crossed the oceans, crossed unknown continents and pushed back the limits of knowledge.From Massalian navigators to medieval explorers such as Guillaume de Rubrouck and Jean de Mandeville, from Renaissance pioneers such as Jacques Cartier and Samuel de Champlain to the great 18th and 19th century discoverers such as Bougainville, La Pérouse and Savorgnan de Brazza, each contributed to expanding the world map and enriching our understanding of distant civilizations. Some sought new trade routes, others took part in the colonial boom, while a few devoted themselves to science and the study of unknown territories.With the 20th century, exploration took on a new face. Jean-Baptiste Charcot paved the way for polar expeditions, Jacques-Yves Cousteau revolutionized the study of the seabed, and explorers like Théodore Monod and Paul-Émile Victor continued the quest for unexplored territories. Little by little, the earth began to shrink.
Durand MERAL has been passionate about history since his earliest childhood. A self-taught historian, he is particularly interested in the great explorers. This history of the great French explorers who made France is his second book.Marie-Pierre BESSON DE VEZAC, his niece, helped him put the book together.
