In Un pèlerinage au pays du Cid, Fréderic Ozanam depicts his journey of 1852 through Spanish lands. It records both his personal experience and the reconstruction of different discourses which intervened as well, such as historical, literary and legendary references, especially those linked to the Middle Age and perceived according to the ro-mantic conception of the time. The aim of this paper is not only to establish its categorisa-tion within the travel speeches by analyzing its textual configuration, but also to study its most striking aspects: the isotopies and intertexts. This approach will enable the recon-struction of the author's cultural imaginary, his horizon of expectations, the function of the isotopies and intertexts in the discursive framework as well as the overall purpose of the book.
