This text attempts to study the strategy employed by French Jesuit missionaries in China during the Qing Dynasty. Upon its arrival in China, the French Jesuit mission established itself rapidly, supplanting progressively the Portugese mission and forming the basis for the spreading of western Christianity at the time. The growth of the French Jesuit mission is very intimately linked with Jesuit missionary strategy to adapt to the historical and cultural context of the country. This strategy was manifested principally in three domains. First, the efforts on the part of the French Jesuits to adapt their rites and customs to Chinese culture: speak Chinese, adopt Chinese names. wear indigenous costumes, and adapt to local mores, etc. Secondly, their efforts in conciliate conflicts between Occidental and Chinest cultures, and above all. between the principles of Christianity and Confucianary doctrine. This strategy on the part of the French Jesuits was indeed very efficient. It is thanks to this arm of the Jesuits the French mission speedily created for itself a fertile terrain in China and developed rapidly.
