The travel narratives feed the imaginary exotic, source of inspiration for the representations and factor of influence on the tourist practices. These representations of the tourist image on the countries marked by the otherness, which are a characteristic identity component of those who make these trips, guide the perception and the tourist modelling of these visited places. Otherwise, writings produced during these explorations, as they provide an important source of information on countries explored, remain influenced by a subjectivity stemming from the personality, the culture and the profile of the author. In this perspective, this study proposes to do a chronological reading of the main narratives and travel guides that have been published on Morocco between the 16th and the 19th century and to try to illustrate, for each author, the words which deal with the image of the country.

Abstract
The travel narratives feed the imaginary exotic, source of inspiration for the representations and factor of influence on the tourist practices. These representations of the tourist image on the countries marked by the otherness, which are a characteristic identity component of those who make these trips, guide the perception and the tourist modelling of these visited places. Otherwise, writings produced during these explorations, as they provide an important source of information on countries explored, remain influenced by a subjectivity stemming from the personality, the culture and the profile of the author. In this perspective, this study proposes to do a chronological reading of the main narratives and travel guides that have been published on Morocco between the 16th and the 19th century and to try to illustrate, for each author, the words which deal with the image of the country.
Author Keywords: Narrative, tourist guide, explorer, discovery, expedition, mission, tourism image.
Abstract: (french)
Les récits de voyage nourrissent l’imaginaire exotique, source d’inspiration pour les représentations et facteur d’influence sur les pratiques touristiques. Cette représentation de l’image touristique sur les lieux marqués par l’altérité, et qui est une composante identitaire caractéristique de ceux qui font ces périples, guide le modelage des lieux mis en tourisme. Par ailleurs, les écrits produits à l’occasion de ces explorations, à mesure qu’ils offrent une source importante d’informations et de renseignements sur les contrées explorées, demeurent influés par une subjectivité issue de la personnalité, la culture et le profil de l’auteur. Dans cette perspective, cette étude se propose de faire une lecture chronologique des principaux récits et guides touristiques qui ont été publiés sur le Maroc entre le XVIème et le XIXème siècle et d’essayer d’illustrer, pour chaque auteur, les propos qui traitent de l’image du pays.
Author Keywords: Récit, guide touristique, exploration, découverte, itinéraire, expédition, mission, image touristique.
