Summary/Abstract: At the beginning of the 19th century, the influence of French on the Romanian language is more and more obvious. French has a great popularity among young Romanian writers who study in France, learn French very well and even start writing in this language. All these can also be seen in travel literature that was published in the journal Propășirea (1844) belonging to several representative writers of the 19th century. In this study we are going to analyze the vocabulary of travel texts from Propășirea and present some French words and expressions adapted or not to the phonetic Romanian system.
