About this Event

La France Antarctique : un projet colonial à Rio de Janeiro au 16ème siècle


Une conférence animée par André Sena, docteur en histoire politique à l’Université de l’État de Rio de Janeiro


Cette conférence revient sur la tentative coloniale française connue dans l’historiographie brésilienne comme “La France Antarctique”. Fondée en 1555, cette colonie représente l’une des premières incursions européennes dans la région de Rio de Janeiro, au Brésil. Sous la direction de Nicolas Durand de Villegagnon, elle devint un refuge pour les protestants persécutés en Europe, jusqu’à sa chute en 1567. Bien que de courte durée, la France Antarctique reste un chapitre fascinant de l’histoire des explorations européennes dans le Nouveau Monde.

France Antarctique: A Colonial Project in Rio de Janeiro During the 16th Century


Presented by André Sena, PhD in Political History at Rio de Janeiro State University


This lecture looks back at the French colonial attempt known in Brazilian historiography as ‘La France Antarctique.’ Founded in 1555, this colony was one of the first European forays into the Rio de Janeiro region of Brazil. Under the leadership of Nicolas Durand de Villegagnon, it became a refuge for Protestants persecuted in Europe, until its fall in 1567. Although short-lived, France Antarctique remains a fascinating chapter in the history of European exploration in the New World.
