Summary/Abstract: During the 18th century the main topic of the discourse of voyage was in the voyage in England. This England was the ideal counterpart of the continental societies at that time. This picture of England has been originally developed by exiled Hunguenots and by Swiss protestant authors and then imprinted in European opinion by the works of Voltaire. Fougeret de Monbron in his Le Cosmopolite ou le citoyen du monde (1742) attacks this picture of England.
