Summary/Abstract: The French doctors have gradually invested in the field of French diplomacy for 30 years in key positions: Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador, director of the Crisis and Support Center. How did these doctors, coming from the humanitarian sector, succeed in making their way in a world as codified as diplomacy, what are their contributions, what are the challenges of this evolution and what filiation connects Rabelais, precursor of the realistic and satirical roman, diplomat-doctor in Rome in the XVIth century, to Bernard Kouchner, a person in the national media spotlight, Minister for Foreign Affairs (2007-2010), under the presidency of Nicolas Sarkozy?
