%X Entre litt¨¦rature et histoire, les r¨¦cits de voyage des Fran aises qui ont parcouru le Maroc pendant le Protectorat (1912-1956) pr¨¦sentent une grande diversit¨¦ d¡¯approches et de perceptions d¡¯un pays qui ¨¦tait jusque l¨¤ jug¨¦ ferm¨¦ et hostile. La qualit¨¦ des  uvres qui en r¨¦sulte est h¨¦t¨¦rog¨¨ne et la majorit¨¦ de ces r¨¦cits est rest¨¦ jusqu¡¯¨¤ maintenant dans l¡¯oubli. Les motivations des voyageuses, les conditions du voyage, les moyens de transport et les infrastructures ¨¦voluent au gr¨¦ des grands travaux initi¨¦s par le mar¨¦chal Lyautey. Certaines nous livrent des   impressions   devant les paysages et les conditions de vie sociale tandis que d¡¯autres, en v¨¦ritables historiennes, produisent des r¨¦cits o¨´ se m¨ºlent observations et renseignements tr¨¨s pr¨¦cis sur la vie politique, sociale, religieuse et artistique du Maroc. Totalement adh¨¦rentes ¨¤ l¡¯ uvre   civilisatrice   de la France ou, au contraire, tr¨¨s critiques vis-¨¤-vis d¡¯attitudes moralement choquantes, ces femmes portent un regard particulier sur un pays en pleine mutation et leurs textes constituent une source originale sur l¡¯histoire de cette ¨¦poque. The travel narratives of French women who travelled widely in Morocco during the Protectorate period (1912-1956) vary widely in their style and in their perceptions of a country, which until then was considered unwelcoming and hostile. The literary quality of the resulting works is heterogeneous and most of these narratives are little known. The motivations of these women travellers, their travel condition and means of transportation, as well as the underlying infrastructure changed considerably in these years in response to the public works projects initiated by Field Marshal Lyautey. Some authors present us with ¡®impressions¡¯ of landscapes and social living conditions while others adopt a more historical approach in their descriptions that meld contemporary observations with precise information on Moroccan political, social, religious and artistic life. These women¡¯s texts constitute an unusual historical source for this period through their perception of a country in the throes of change, be they completely convinced of the ¡®civilizing¡¯ role of France or, on the contrary, staunchly critical of morally shocking attitudes.
