Wladimir Berelowitch, France in the "Grand Tour" of Russian nobles during the second half of the eighteenth century.
The article studies Russian nobles' travels in France during the Age of Enlightenment. It is based on some examples drawn from correspondence, accounts and travelogues, memoirs and autobiographies as well as statistics of applications for passports. The article describes the travellers who are young, belong often to aristocratic families in which a diplomatic career plays an important part and for whom the voyage - even if rarely dissociated from a mission - is integrated in an educative project and generally partakes of a culture of leisure. The author endeavors to situate these travels against the background of European "Grand Tours », to present literary models, the guide books from which the Russians draw their information and to describe the centers of interest of these travellers who are more or less consciously looking to France for a model of civilization going back to the age of Louis XIV.
