Abstract
This article is describing the complex process by which French language and culture penetrated Romanian society from the eighteenth century on. The introduction of French as a compulsory foreign language in Romanian education increased the number of francophone Romanians in the nineteenth century. Romanians became not merely francophones but also enthusiastic consumers of French literature and finally even producers of francophone literature.
