Louis Charles Fougeret de Monbron

Born in Péronne in 1706 and dying in 1760, Louis-Charles Fougeret de Monbron was a French man of letters remembered for his irreverent, often provocative style. Sources found during this search describe him as a great traveler, and that sense of movement through Europe shaped both his outlook and his writing.

He is especially associated with Le Cosmopolite, ou le Citoyen du monde (1750), a work that drew on his journeys and helped define his reputation. His writing is usually placed in the lively, satirical side of 18th-century French literature, where travel, social criticism, and personal observation often meet.

Some standard biographical details about him are easy to confirm, but a clear, usable portrait image was not available from the pages located here, so none is included.
