The project concerns the publication (in Swedish) of a French travelogue from the 17th century, mostly concerning Sweden, "Minnen från en resa i länderna i norr år 1663". The original is in manuscript in Orléans, France. The document has never before been published or discussed in literature. It is also unusual in its kind, partly because of its large volume, about 45,000 words in translation, and partly because no more than a handful of similar foreign travel accounts from 17th-century Sweden are known. The traveler arrived in Sweden in September 1663 and stayed here until June 1664. In the travelogue, he first describes a short stay in Skåne and then his stay in Stockholm. From the capital and its surroundings, as well as from a visit to the Falu mine, he has a wide range of experiences and observations to report. His account is given a special character by the fact that he does not - like other contemporary travel writers - travel on diplomatic business, as a businessman or for any formal study or research purpose. This is something so unusual in the travel literature of the period as a young man without such special conditions, who nevertheless had an opportunity to see more of the world and who freely and unaffectedly tells about what he experienced.
