French travellers to India, most of them from the seventeenth century onward, left testimonies often very different from those of other colonizing nations, with perhaps all the more empathy for India as France lost the political battle to Britain. Touching upon a few Jesuits and other early travellers, this lecture focuses on Pyrard de Laval, Anquetil-Duperron, Le Gentil and Sonnerat. French travellers in effect laid the foundations for France’s nineteenth-century school of Indology, the main channel of Indian influence on French thought and literature.
