Summary/Abstract: This study is a demonstrative chapter of the former and vibrant history of the cultural and literary French-Romanian reports from their origin until the second half of the XIX-th century, when Vasile Alecsandri and his generation fought with responsibility for the development of these reports. Truly European the Romanian writer, knew that the happy meeting between the national component and the modern side of the European mind lies at the basis of all his literary success, the sustainability of his work, and the cultural relationship between his people and the Latin France. By sending in Montpellier, Le chant du Latin (The song of the Latin) to the jury of the Floral Games of 1878, the poet won the grand prize awarded by the „Society of the Roman languages”. His work selected from more than five hundred fifty poems became the anthem of the latin world. His coronation was the effect of calling the attention of the world on the history and culture of the latin-oriental country, Romania. It was his dream, that of a Latin spiritual brotherhood, to which he remained faithful until his death.
