For me like so many other children of
my generation, the Fenouillard Family
was, along with Jules Verne, the first
window opening up to the vast world
outside, and it would be no exaggeration
to claim that most of my travels aimed at
verifying on site the teachings of this
founding book. But only much later did
I realized to what extent this closing
Sentence of the epigraph was prophetic,
And how effective it had been…

La
Famille Fenouillard

Histoire aussi véridique que
vraisemblable des voyages de la
Famille Fenouillard, où l’on
verra comme quoi, à la suite de
plusieurs crises gouvernementales
et intestines, M. Fenouillard
perdit successivement de nom-
breux chapeaux, mais conserva
son parapluie. - Ouvrage destiné
à donner à la jeunesse française
le goût des voyages.
