description French Historian Victor Duruy’s 1860 travel on Rhine and Danube gives him rise to go all over South of Germany. He let a diary of this journey, original in terms of both content and form. His geographical and ethnographical observations allow him to make a comparison between territories on both sides of Rhine, and to prove France’s superiority to Germany. So this is not so much a discovery travel as a confirmation and justification one. In places already known by many years of studies, the Historian can confirm several images and clichés. Furthermore it makes him able to take a patriotical line that allows him to defend border status quo between France in Germany in a time of rise of Prussian claims on Rhenish area.
