LE DANUBE VU PAR UN FRANÇAIS
View through CrossRef
THE DANUBE IN THE EYE OF A FRENCHMAN
The Danube, the oldest European traveller, is the only major river to flow
from West to East and pass through ten countries. This river has been the source
of inspiration for many artists: writers, painters, poets, travellers-writers. Our
intention is to study how an artist-writer-traveller in the nineteenth century,
Dieudonné Auguste Lancelot, travelling in the Balkans along the Danube, and
impressed by this river and the fortress towns on its shores, notes and represents
with words and images what has particularly attracted his attention. He presents
a whole range of historical, geographical, ethnographic facts with the aim of
popularizing other cultures. In Lancelot’s narrative, following the current of the
Danube, we study particularly two aspects of the Danube: the cities-fortresses
on its shores, and the possibilities of trade and tourism in relation with the
opening of the Danube for free navigation and commerce.
Keywords: Danube, the cities-forteresses, Golubac, trade, tourism
