Traveling through the Romanian Principalities during the pre-1848 period: the roads in the view of French consuls and travelers
Journal Title: Codrul Cosminului - Year 2014, Vol 20, Issue 1
Abstract
Travel means were different during the pre-1848 period and mostly land routes were followed. The French travelers and consuls, as the count d’Hauterive, the general count of Langeron, the marquis of Salaberry, Louis Allier d’Hauteroche, the count of Guilleminot, the captain Aubert, Alexandre de Moriolles, Charles Frédéric Reinhard and his wife, Christine, the count of Lagarde, the diplomat J.M. Tancoigne, the captain Thomassin, the count of Marcellus, J. Jaquin, M. Cochelet, Stanislas Bellanger, Felix Colson, Huber, Fanny de la Rochefoucauld, Duclos, left in their travel diaries or consular reports testimonies about the roads and their voyages in the Romanian Principalities. In general, they observed the deplorable state of the roads, often drawn at random, the difficulty of traveling in those regions, the precarious organization of post stations and the uncertainty of roads as well as the fairness of the inhabitants. Accustomed to the realities from the western part of the European continent, many of them were expecting to travel as in France, but their hopes proved illusory.
