Authorship Notes The 'Maximes' offer a summary of key moments of life, from the perspective of a nobleman in the army. Besides many usual comments on the utility of travel in the service of the prince, its text insists on the importance of not being surprised by foreign ways of life, and not showing signs of national superiority. A unique feature is the recommendation of games as a way of getting closer to local peoples. The 'Maximes pour les voyages' occur at pp. 20-30.
