On the occasion of the fourth anniversary of the launch of the France-Brazil website, we invite you to discover the new articles that have been added to this digital library. Themes such as Brazil in Montaigne’s Essays, the Ferrez family and the city of Rio, French explorers in the Amazon and the Anville cartographic collection are dealt with by experts based on documents held at the BnF, but also at the Fundação Biblioteca Nacional do Brasil, the Bibliothèque Sainte Geneviève, Manioc and the Bibliothèque Brasiliana Guita e José Mindlin.
