French travelers’ accounts in the seventeenth century are the major source of information regarding the Orient world. But there is lots of ambiguousness in the biographies of these voyagers due to lack of translations available in hand. An attempt has been made to discover and formulate the biographies of these explorers who have left their readable printed records. The objectives and interpretations of these Occidental voyagers have been vital source of history, in order to countercheck the Persian sources of those times. Despite the weakness of plagiarism, exaggerated observations and European euphoria, these French explores’ laid down the platform for the following adventurers and colonists of the eighteenth century to engage in commercial activities and finally colonize the India.
