欧洲一向有崇尚法国文化的传统,自启蒙运动以来,伏尔泰、狄德罗和卢梭的光辉名字,已使巴黎成为世人向往的圣地。因此,正如爱尔兰作家王尔德、叶芝、乔伊斯等曾在伦敦文坛上大显身手一样,法国也有许多成就卓著的作家和艺术家来自欧洲各地,其中有西班牙画家毕加索、瑞士小说家西默农、罗马尼亚剧作家尤内斯库,直至当代的捷克小说家昆德拉等等。而最早来到法国、并对欧洲乃至世界产生重要影响的人物,则是瑞士的日内瓦公民让—雅克·卢梭(1712年～1778年)。
Europe has always had a tradition of advocating French culture. Since the Enlightenment, the magnificent names of Voltaire, Diderot and Rousseau have made Paris a sacred place for the world. Therefore, just as the Irish writers Wilde, Yeats and Joyce used to play an active role in the London literary arena, there are many outstanding writers and artists from all over Europe, including the Spanish artist Picasso, the Swiss novelist Simone, the Romanian play Writer Younesscu, until the contemporary Czech novelist Kundera and so on. The earliest person who came to France and had a significant impact on Europe and the world was Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778), a citizen of Geneva in Switzerland.
