Abstract
En route to London, the brothers Ahmed Khan and Nawazish Khan, deposed princes of the principality of Broach in Gujarat, landed in Marseille in April 1793. Their stay in France was to last several months. How were they received by the French authorities? How did they adapt to the local context? This paper will examine the concrete conditions of this French sojourn, while reintegrating it into the history of a journey that took in Bombay, Basra, Baghdad and Constantinople. It will seek to show what connected history, drawing on diplomatic archives, can contribute to the history of the age of imperial revolutions.
