Europe 1 Studio SEASON 2021 - 202207:00 a.m., March 23, 2022
In the 18th century, Louis XV, like all the sovereigns of Europe, dreamed of adding the mythical fifth continent to his crown.
Two French explorers, Yves-Joseph de Kerguelen-Trémarec and his travel companion Jean Aleno de Saint-Aloüarn try the adventure... In this new episode of the Europe 1 Studio podcast "At the heart of History", Clémentine Portier-Kaltenbach tells about their expedition…
During the 18th century, Kerguelen is convinced to have discovered unknown islands belonging to the coveted fifth continent.
But in reality, he will not set foot on the open lands.
In this new episode of the Europe 1 Studio podcast "At the heart of History", Clémentine Portier-Kaltenbach returns to this disappointing exploration.
