description During the first half of the seventeenth century, the french Compagnie des îles de l’Amérique received from the royal power the monopoly of land exploitation beyond the Atlantic and merchant traffic. Since it does not have enough vessels, it grants individuals licences to trade. A fairly regular traffic is thus set up between the main ports of France, which are as many operational bases of the company (Dieppe, Le Havre, Nantes, La Rochelle), and the Antilles.The contracts that rest in the notarial archives, in particular in Normandy, can allow us to enter the financial arrangement of such operations (credit, charte-partie, prêt à la grosse) as well as the arrangements for chartering vessels (preparation of crews and goods). It is also possible to reconstruct part of thee volumes of goods transported and the nature of the trade. The risk of such journeys is obvious. To the sometimes terrible climatic conditions (storms, hurricanes and cyclones), it is necessary to add the corsary threat, especially Flemish (privateers operate from Ostend and Dunkirk), but also Turkish (on the west coast of Africa) disrupting the commercial route, and disrupting the capture of the vessel, cargo and crews.But is this organisation the most appropriate for developing exchanges with the islands of America?
