Abstract

The article emphasizes the image that the French have of Brazil through the media, mainly of the printed vehicles. According to the author, this adoration of a country as Cartesian as France is not gratuitous, but it is due to an indicial emptiness of mutation of the French ethos and a saturation of values.
