Long before Portuguese caravels formally claimed it, Madeira flickered at the edge of the known world, a whisper in ancient texts and a shadow on medieval maps. Its history doesn’t begin with its discovery, but in the realm of myth, legend, and the burgeoning science of cartography that sought to chart the vast, unknown Atlantic.<\/p>\n
R\u00e9f\u00e9rences aux \u00eeles de l'Atlantique apparaissent dans l'Antiquit\u00e9 classique, alimentant l'imagination europ\u00e9enne pendant des si\u00e8cles. L'auteur et naturaliste romain Pliny the Elder<\/strong> a \u00e9crit sur les Insulae Purpurariae<\/em>, ou les \u00ab \u00celes Pourpres \u00bb, que certains historiens sp\u00e9culent avoir pu \u00eatre une r\u00e9f\u00e9rence \u00e0 l'archipel de Mad\u00e8re, peut-\u00eatre en raison d'un lichen qui produisait une teinture violette. Ces r\u00e9cits se sont m\u00eal\u00e9s au concept plus large des \u00ab \u00celes Fortun\u00e9es \u00bb\u2014des terres mythiques de printemps \u00e9ternel et d'abondance au-del\u00e0 des Colonnes d'Hercule.<\/p>\n More romantic, and certainly more dramatic, is the legend of Robert Machim and Anne d’Arfet. This 14th-century tale tells of two English lovers who, fleeing an arranged marriage, were blown off course in a storm and shipwrecked on a verdant, uninhabited island. Anne, frail from the journey, died shortly after, followed by a grief-stricken Robert. The story, whether true or a romanticized fiction, became a powerful piece of lore. It was said that the surviving crew members eventually made it back to the mainland, their tale of the beautiful, wooded island reaching the ears of Portuguese navigators and adding a layer of human drama to the quest for new lands.<\/p>\n Au-del\u00e0 du mythe, Mad\u00e8re a commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 \u00e9merger comme un lieu physique, bien que myst\u00e9rieux, sur les premi\u00e8res cartes marines. Sa repr\u00e9sentation la plus notable avant sa d\u00e9couverte officielle figure dans l'Atlas M\u00e9dicis<\/strong>, dat\u00e9 d'environ 1351. L'archipel y est clairement repr\u00e9sent\u00e9, l'\u00eele principale portant le nom d'\u00ab Isola di Legname \u00bb<\/strong>, un nom italien signifiant \u00ab \u00cele de Bois \u00bb. Cette preuve cartographique est significative, d\u00e9montrant que la connaissance de l'existence de l'\u00eele et de sa caract\u00e9ristique d\u00e9terminante\u2014sa for\u00eat dense\u2014a pr\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9 le d\u00e9barquement portugais officiel de plus d'un demi-si\u00e8cle.<\/p>\n These faint outlines on maps were more than just geographical curiosities; they were strategic targets. In the early 15th century, Portugal, under the visionary leadership of Prince Henry le Navigateur<\/strong>, was systematically pushing into the Atlantic. Driven by a desire to find new trade routes to Africa, circumvent rivals, and spread Christianity, Henry sponsored expeditions to map the African coast and claim the islands dotted off its shores. The “Island of Wood,” already known to exist, was a prime and logical target for this ambitious enterprise.

Sous le patronage du Prince Henry le Navigateur<\/strong>, les marins repoussaient les limites du monde connu. En 1419, deux de ses capitaines, Jo\u00e3o Gon\u00e7alves Zarco<\/strong> et Trist\u00e3o Vaz Teixeira<\/strong>, exploraient la c\u00f4te africaine lorsqu'une violente temp\u00eate les d\u00e9tourna fortement de leur route. Ils trouv\u00e8rent refuge sur une petite \u00eele inhabit\u00e9e qu'ils nomm\u00e8rent Porto Santo (\u00ab Port Saint \u00bb) en gratitude pour leur salut.<\/p>\n From Porto Santo, they observed a dark, persistent mass of clouds to the southwest. Intrigued, they returned a year later, in 1420, accompanied by another nobleman, Bartolomeu Perestrelo<\/strong>. Sailing towards the mysterious cloud, they discovered a much larger, mountainous island, completely blanketed by a dense, primeval forest. Struck by the sheer abundance of timber, they named it Ilha da Madeira<\/em>\u2014the Island of Wood. This “discovery” was not one of chance, but a calculated step in Portugal’s strategic expansion into the Atlantic, officially claiming the archipelago for the Portuguese Crown. Consider checking the visa and travel requirements to visit Madeira Island<\/a> before planning your trip.<\/p>\n Claiming the island was one thing; taming it was another. The first Portuguese settlers arrived around 1425, faced with the monumental task of making the rugged, forested land habitable and profitable. To manage this effort, the archipelago was divided into three captaincies. Jo\u00e3o Gon\u00e7alves Zarco was appointed captain of the Funchal<\/a> region, Trist\u00e3o Vaz Teixeira took charge of Machico on the eastern side of Madeira, and Bartolomeu Perestrelo became the captain of Porto Santo.<\/p>\n Le d\u00e9fi imm\u00e9diat \u00e9tait la for\u00eat imp\u00e9n\u00e9trable de Laurissilva. Pour d\u00e9fricher des terres \u00e0 des fins agricoles, les colons eurent recours \u00e0 une mesure radicale : le feu. La l\u00e9gende raconte qu'ils d\u00e9clench\u00e8rent un immense incendie qui br\u00fbla de mani\u00e8re incontr\u00f4lable pendant sept ans, un r\u00e9cit dramatique qui, bien qu'il s'agisse probablement d'une exag\u00e9ration, illustre puissamment l'ampleur consid\u00e9rable de l'effort de d\u00e9frichement. Cet acte initial et destructeur ouvrit la voie \u00e0 un exploit de g\u00e9nie constructif : les levadas<\/em>.<\/p>\n The settlers quickly realized the island’s climatic paradox: the mountainous north received abundant rainfall, while the sunnier, flatter south was ideal for farming but lacked water. Their solution was an incredible system of aqueducts, or levadas<\/em><\/strong>. Carved by hand out of sheer rock faces and winding through the mountains for thousands of kilometers, these narrow irrigation channels painstakingly diverted water from the northern springs to the southern terraces. The construction of the levadas<\/em> was a heroic undertaking, a testament to the immense toil, perseverance, and ingenuity of the early colonists. Far from being a historical relic, this network remains the lifeblood of the island’s agriculture and has been repurposed into a stunning network of sentiers de randonn\u00e9e<\/a>, allowing visitors today to walk through the very heart of Madeira’s history and landscape. For a comprehensive overview of what this island offers, explore our guide on the best places to visit in Madeira Island<\/a>.<\/p>\n Une fois la t\u00e2che ardue de d\u00e9frichement commenc\u00e9e, les premiers colons eurent besoin d'une culture de rapport. La r\u00e9ponse arriva de Sicile sous la forme de la canne \u00e0 sucre. Elle trouva un terrain parfait dans le sol volcanique riche et le climat subtropical de Mad\u00e8re, prosp\u00e9rant sur les versants sud ensoleill\u00e9s. Cette culture, si rare et pr\u00e9cieuse en Europe \u00e0 l'\u00e9poque, devint rapidement le moteur \u00e9conomique de l'\u00eele. D\u00e8s la fin du XVe si\u00e8cle, Mad\u00e8re \u00e9tait une force dominante sur le march\u00e9 mondial du sucre, et son produit cristallin \u00e9tait si pris\u00e9 qu'il fut surnomm\u00e9 \u00ab l'or blanc \u00bb<\/strong>. Cet essor n'\u00e9tait pas uniquement une entreprise portugaise ; il fut largement financ\u00e9 et facilit\u00e9 par des marchands internationaux avis\u00e9s. Les commer\u00e7ants flamands<\/strong> et g\u00e9nois<\/strong> \u00e9tablirent des op\u00e9rations importantes \u00e0 Funchal<\/a>, contr\u00f4lant une grande partie du r\u00e9seau de distribution qui envoyait le sucre mad\u00e9rien vers les march\u00e9s d'Anvers, Bruges et au-del\u00e0.<\/p>\n The immense profits generated by the sugar trade transformed the island’s capital. Funchal<\/strong> rapidly evolved from a modest colonial outpost into a wealthy and cosmopolitan European port. The city’s coffers swelled, financing the construction of magnificent churches, opulent manors for merchants, and a cathedral with a stunning cedar ceiling\u2014a testament to the era’s prosperity. However, this economic miracle was built on a grim foundation. The labor-intensive process of cultivating and processing sugarcane demanded a vast workforce, a demand met through the brutal system of slavery. Thousands of enslaved people, primarily from West Africa and the Canary Islands, were forcibly brought to Madeira to toil on the plantations and in the sugar mills, their forced labor creating the wealth that built the city and enriched European traders. For more on the island’s history, check out our Key Facts of Madeira Island<\/a>.<\/p>\n The prosperity brought by the sugar trade came at a price. By the 16th century, Madeira’s reputation as a treasure island, laden with “white gold,” had spread across the seas. Its wealth, combined with its strategic but isolated position in the Atlantic, made it an irresistible target for pirates and privateers operating with the tacit approval of rival European powers. The very success that had transformed Funchal into a bustling commercial hub now painted a target on its back. If you’re planning a trip, you might want to review our Visa et exigences de voyage pour visiter l'\u00eele de Mad\u00e8re<\/a>.<\/p>\n In response, the Portuguese Crown initiated the construction of a defensive network around the island’s capital. The earliest fortifications, including the beginnings of the Pal\u00e1cio de S\u00e3o Louren\u00e7o<\/strong> and the Bulwark of Funchal, were erected to guard the harbor. These initial efforts were a clear acknowledgment of the growing threat, an attempt to protect the island’s riches from opportunistic raiders who prowled the Atlantic shipping lanes. Consider our guide to Reasons de visiter l'\u00eele de Mad\u00e8re<\/a> for more insights.<\/p>\n Malgr\u00e9 ces pr\u00e9cautions, les d\u00e9fenses de l'\u00eele furent mises \u00e0 l'\u00e9preuve de mani\u00e8re horrible en septembre 1566. Une flotte de corsaires fran\u00e7ais, command\u00e9e par le noble devenu pirate Bertrand de Montluc<\/strong>, s'abattit sur Funchal. Avec plus de mille hommes, ils submerg\u00e8rent la petite garnison de la ville. Ce qui suivit fut un sac brutal de la capitale durant quinze jours. Les pirates pill\u00e8rent les \u00e9glises, les entrep\u00f4ts de sucre et les maisons priv\u00e9es, infligeant des violences \u00e0 la population et laissant la ville autrefois prosp\u00e8re en ruines.<\/p>\n L'attaque fut un traumatisme profond pour Mad\u00e8re. L'ampleur de la destruction a servi de sombre signal d'alarme, r\u00e9v\u00e9lant l'insuffisance des d\u00e9fenses existantes. Dans le sillage de cet \u00e9v\u00e9nement, un effort massif a \u00e9t\u00e9 entrepris pour reconstruire et renforcer Funchal. Le roi S\u00e9bastien Ier du Portugal a envoy\u00e9 des ing\u00e9nieurs militaires pour concevoir un syst\u00e8me d\u00e9fensif plus robuste et int\u00e9gr\u00e9. Cela a conduit \u00e0 la construction de nouvelles forteresses comme la Fortaleza de S\u00e3o Tiago<\/strong><\/a> et l'expansion des existantes, remodelant fondamentalement le front de mer de la ville en un bastion con\u00e7u pour garantir qu'un tel raid d\u00e9vastateur ne se reproduise plus jamais.<\/p>\n Every boom has its eventual decline, and for Madeira’s “white gold,” the end came with the rise of a formidable competitor: Brazil. The vast Portuguese colony, with its immense scale and slave-powered plantations, began to produce sugar at a volume and price that the small island could not match. By the 17th century, Madeira’s sugar monoculture was no longer sustainable, forcing the island’s landowners to pivot to a new crop that would define its identity for centuries to come: the grapevine.<\/p>\n La transition vers la viticulture n'\u00e9tait pas simplement un changement de culture mais la naissance d'une toute nouvelle industrie. Initialement, les vins \u00e9taient similaires \u00e0 ceux du Portugal continental, mais les longs voyages en mer vers les march\u00e9s d'exportation ont eu un effet inattendu. Pour \u00e9viter la d\u00e9t\u00e9rioration, de l'eau-de-vie de raisin \u00e9tait ajout\u00e9e, fortifiant le vin. Les exp\u00e9diteurs ont rapidement remarqu\u00e9 que le vin qui avait \u00e9t\u00e9 soumis \u00e0 la chaleur et au mouvement de balancement d'un long voyage tropical voyait en r\u00e9alit\u00e9 sa qualit\u00e9 s'am\u00e9liorer, d\u00e9veloppant des ar\u00f4mes complexes de noisette et de caramel. Cette d\u00e9couverte a conduit au d\u00e9veloppement intentionnel du processus d'estufagem<\/em>, o\u00f9 le vin est chauff\u00e9 pendant une p\u00e9riode prolong\u00e9e pour reproduire les effets d'un voyage en mer. Ainsi, le vin de Mad\u00e8re, unique et pratiquement indestructible, est n\u00e9, parfaitement adapt\u00e9 \u00e0 un monde globalis\u00e9 connect\u00e9 par les navires.<\/p>\n Si le vin \u00e9tait une cr\u00e9ation mad\u00e9rienne, son succ\u00e8s mondial a \u00e9t\u00e9 largement port\u00e9 par des familles de marchands britanniques qui se sont install\u00e9es sur l'\u00eele. Reconnaissant le potentiel de ce vin robuste et apte au vieillissement, ils ont fond\u00e9 des maisons de commerce v\u00e9n\u00e9rables qui existent encore aujourd'hui. Des noms comme Blandy\u2019s<\/strong>, Cossart Gordon<\/strong> et Leacock\u2019s sont devenus synonymes de qualit\u00e9, \u00e9tablissant des normes de production rigoureuses et construisant des r\u00e9seaux commerciaux \u00e9tendus qui s'\u00e9tendaient de l'autre c\u00f4t\u00e9 de l'Atlantique et au-del\u00e0. Ils n'\u00e9taient pas seulement des marchands ; ils ont jou\u00e9 un r\u00f4le d\u00e9terminant dans la d\u00e9finition du caract\u00e8re du vin et dans la consolidation de sa r\u00e9putation internationale.<\/p>\n Ce vin fortifi\u00e9 est devenu un incontournable dans les caves de l'Angleterre et, surtout, des colonies am\u00e9ricaines. Sa capacit\u00e9 \u00e0 r\u00e9sister \u00e0 la travers\u00e9e transatlantique sans s'alt\u00e9rer en a fait l'importation pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9e de l'\u00e9lite coloniale. Il \u00e9tait si appr\u00e9ci\u00e9 qu'il s'est int\u00e9gr\u00e9 \u00e0 l'histoire am\u00e9ricaine. Dans une c\u00e9l\u00e8bre anecdote historique, on dit que la signature de la Declaration of Independence<\/strong> am\u00e9ricaine en 1776 a \u00e9t\u00e9 c\u00e9l\u00e9br\u00e9e non pas avec du champagne, mais avec un verre de vin de Mad\u00e8re, un hommage appropri\u00e9 \u00e0 une boisson qui avait aliment\u00e9 l'\u00e9conomie coloniale et r\u00e9chauff\u00e9 ses esprits r\u00e9volutionnaires.<\/p>\n As Europe was plunged into the chaos of the Napoleonic Wars, Madeira’s strategic location in the Atlantic once again came to the fore. Portugal, a long-standing ally of Great Britain, found itself in a precarious position against Napoleon’s expanding empire. The island’s excellent natural harbour at Funchal<\/a> was a vital waystation for British naval and merchant fleets. To prevent this crucial asset from falling into French hands, Britain took a proactive step to secure the island.<\/p>\n Cela conduisit \u00e0 deux p\u00e9riodes d'occupation britannique pacifique, d'abord bri\u00e8vement en 1801 puis pour une p\u00e9riode plus longue de 1807 \u00e0 1814. Il ne s'agissait pas de prises de pouvoir hostiles mais plut\u00f4t de garnisons protectrices, \u00e9tablies avec le consentement de la couronne portugaise en exil. Les soldats britanniques patrouillaient dans les rues de Funchal, et l'Union Jack<\/i> flottait aux c\u00f4t\u00e9s du drapeau portugais, garantissant que l'\u00eele restait un port s\u00fbr sous protection britannique tout au long du conflit.<\/p>\n The prolonged British presence had a lasting cultural and economic impact. It strengthened the already deep-rooted commercial ties, particularly solidifying the dominance of British merchant families in the Madeira wine trade. This era further cemented the island’s reputation within the British sphere of influence, fostering cultural exchanges and leaving an indelible mark on its social fabric that can still be felt today.<\/p>\n La stabilit\u00e9 relative des ann\u00e9es de guerre a c\u00e9d\u00e9 la place \u00e0 des d\u00e9fis profonds au milieu du XIXe si\u00e8cle. L'\u00e9conomie de l'\u00eele, d\u00e9sormais presque enti\u00e8rement d\u00e9pendante de la viticulture, a \u00e9t\u00e9 mise \u00e0 genoux par deux \u00e9pid\u00e9mies v\u00e9g\u00e9tales catastrophiques. En 1852, le oidium<\/strong> (o\u00efdium) a balay\u00e9 les vignobles, suivi deux d\u00e9cennies plus tard par le ravageur encore plus destructeur du phylloxera<\/strong>. Ces fl\u00e9aux ont d\u00e9cim\u00e9 la production de raisin, paralys\u00e9 le commerce du vin et caus\u00e9 une ruine \u00e9conomique g\u00e9n\u00e9ralis\u00e9e.<\/p>\n Faced with failing vineyards and immense hardship, thousands of Madeirans were forced to leave their homeland in search of a better life. This triggered significant waves of emigration throughout the latter half of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Large communities of Madeiran descent were established in destinations as varied as Brazil, British Guiana (now Guyana), Venezuela, and South Africa. This diaspora marked a difficult chapter in the island’s history but also spread Madeiran culture and resilience across the globe.<\/p>\n The turbulent first half of the 20th century saw Madeira navigate a complex path shaped by global conflict. Though Portugal maintained official neutrality for most of both World Wars, the island’s strategic location in the Atlantic meant it could not remain entirely detached. Funchal’s<\/a> harbor served as a crucial, neutral port of call for Allied shipping and a safe haven for refugees fleeing the turmoil in Europe. This relative peace, however, was shattered during World War I.<\/p>\n On December 3, 1916, a German U-boat entered Funchal’s harbor and torpedoed three ships, bringing the war directly to Madeira’s shores. The attack, followed by a bombardment of the city, was a shocking reminder of the island’s vulnerability. Despite the brief but violent episode, Madeira largely retained its status as a sanctuary throughout the wars.<\/p>\n Ce r\u00f4le de refuge s'\u00e9tendait \u00e9galement aux exil\u00e9s politiques. Son r\u00e9sident le plus c\u00e9l\u00e8bre durant cette p\u00e9riode fut Charles Ier<\/strong>, le dernier empereur d'Autriche et roi de Hongrie. Apr\u00e8s sa seconde tentative infructueuse pour reconqu\u00e9rir le tr\u00f4ne de Hongrie, il fut exil\u00e9 \u00e0 Mad\u00e8re en 1921. Il v\u00e9cut avec sa famille dans une villa sur les hauteurs de Funchal jusqu'\u00e0 sa mort des suites d'une pneumonie en 1922, un poignant chapitre final de l'histoire de l'Empire austro-hongrois qui se joua sur cette \u00eele recul\u00e9e de l'Atlantique.<\/p>\n Le changement politique le plus significatif de l'histoire portugaise moderne, la R\u00e9volution des \u0152illets<\/strong> du 25 avril 1974, a annonc\u00e9 une nouvelle \u00e8re pour Mad\u00e8re. Le coup d'\u00c9tat militaire pacifique \u00e0 Lisbonne a renvers\u00e9 le r\u00e9gime autoritaire de l'Estado Novo, inaugurant la d\u00e9mocratie et la d\u00e9colonisation dans tout le monde lusophone. Pour Mad\u00e8re et les A\u00e7ores, cet esprit r\u00e9volutionnaire a ouvert la voie \u00e0 une plus grande autonomie.<\/p>\n Following the revolution, fervent political debate and a desire for a distinct regional identity culminated in a landmark achievement. In 1976, the new Portuguese Constitution established the Autonomous Region of Madeira (Regi\u00e3o Aut\u00f3noma da Madeira). This granted the archipelago its own regional government and a legislative assembly with the power to manage local affairs, from economic policy and infrastructure to health and education. This political autonomy was a defining moment, empowering Madeirans to chart their own course and laying the foundation for the prosperous, modern island we see today.<\/p>\n The story of Madeira did not end with the turn of a century; it continues to be written every day. The island’s turbulent and prosperous history has shaped a resilient and unique culture, creating a modern destination where the past is not just remembered but is an integral part of the present landscape and identity.<\/p>\n While the echoes of the sugar and wine cycles remain, Madeira’s contemporary economy is largely propelled by a new engine: tourism. Drawn by its un climat doux toute l'ann\u00e9e<\/b><\/a>, dramatic natural beauty, and reputation for safety and tranquility, visitors from around the world have made the island a premier travel destination. This modern boom is built upon the very features that have defined Madeira for centuries\u2014its lush mountains, stunning coastline, and a culture of hospitality refined over generations.<\/p>\n Pourtant, la tradition perdure. Le c\u00e9l\u00e8bre vin de Mad\u00e8re<\/strong> continue d'\u00eatre produit et c\u00e9l\u00e9br\u00e9 dans le monde entier, un h\u00e9ritage liquide du pass\u00e9 commercial de l'\u00eele. L'agriculture reste \u00e9galement vitale, avec les pentes en terrasses de l'\u00eele produisant non seulement du raisin mais aussi la fameuse banane de Mad\u00e8re et une vari\u00e9t\u00e9 d'autres fruits tropicaux. Ce m\u00e9lange d'une \u00e9conomie moderne bas\u00e9e sur les services avec des traditions agricoles profond\u00e9ment enracin\u00e9es conf\u00e8re \u00e0 l'\u00eele un caract\u00e8re unique et durable.<\/p>\n To visit Madeira is to walk through a living museum. The island’s history is not confined to books; it is carved into the very mountainsides and built into the stones of its capital. For the observant traveler, the story of the island unfolds at every turn.<\/p>\n Comprendre cette histoire riche et complexe enrichit profond\u00e9ment l'exp\u00e9rience de la visite de Mad\u00e8re. Un verre de vin n'est plus seulement une boisson, mais une saveur d'un commerce s\u00e9culaire qui a fa\u00e7onn\u00e9 des empires. Une promenade le long d'une levada<\/em> devient un voyage sur les traces des pionniers de l'\u00eele. En voyant les liens entre le pass\u00e9 et le pr\u00e9sent, un visiteur peut appr\u00e9cier Mad\u00e8re non seulement comme une belle \u00eele, mais aussi comme une remarquable chronique de l'endurance, de l'ing\u00e9niosit\u00e9 et de l'adaptation humaines.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Explorez le pass\u00e9 de Mad\u00e8re, de ses origines volcaniques au paradis moderne.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":48502,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"History of Madeira Island","_seopress_titles_desc":"Explore Madeira's past from volcanic origins to modern-day paradise.","_seopress_robots_index":""},"tags":[28106,27075],"article-type":[24796],"collection":[],"continent":[24756],"country":[24733],"class_list":["post-48472","travel-guide","type-travel-guide","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-madeira-history","tag-madeira-island","article-type-culture","continent-europe","country-portugal"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/remote-expeditions.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/travel-guide\/48472","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/remote-expeditions.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/travel-guide"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/remote-expeditions.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/travel-guide"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/remote-expeditions.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/48502"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/remote-expeditions.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48472"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/remote-expeditions.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=48472"},{"taxonomy":"article-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/remote-expeditions.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article-type?post=48472"},{"taxonomy":"collection","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/remote-expeditions.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/collection?post=48472"},{"taxonomy":"continent","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/remote-expeditions.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/continent?post=48472"},{"taxonomy":"country","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/remote-expeditions.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/country?post=48472"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Cartographie Ancienne<\/h3>\n
