Summary/Abstract: The French travel accounts to Arabia Felix have long remained outside the interest of researchers. This article's objective is to analyze their form and writing. Since the texts chronologically and stylistically varied, we were led to analyze the form and style of each account of a voyage to highlight their features. The letter, poetry, dialogue, intertextuality-in all its forms- and rewriting, very present in the travelogues in Arabia from the time of Vincent Le Blanc to Botta, clearly reflect the taste of their time.
