Summary/Abstract: Traveling is often a path to awareness. French travelers in Hungary between the two wars were penetrating another world which, however, was close to their hearts. The Ancient regime, for Pierre Delattre. The hope to meet a spirit hostile to all kinds of domination, for Pierre Chaillet. His own dreamt past for the young Nicolas de Rochefort. As far as Aurélien Sauvageot, Aldo Dami and even the journalists of the Action Française are concerned, Hungary was a sort of “almost perfect” distorting mirror.
