Abstract: This small article is part of a communication about French firms in SpanishAmerica. This one is only about Brazil. On Brazil we had two opportunities to study thehistory of French investments in that country during the XIXth and XXth centuries. Herewe are passing from a macroeconomic and global to a microeconomic and entrepreneurshippoint of view. The French position in Brazil since 1800 can be resumed in some words: avery weak demographic presence but a very strong cultural one and an economic one inbetween. Of that economic presence we did not study the commercial aspect but only thefinancial one. It looks convenient to remember to our public some typical features of thisfinancial aspect before examining some types of French firms that engaged in the Brazilianeconomy.
