ABSTRACT={Jeanne Barré was the first woman naturalist on board a ship for scientific exploration, historical documents testify to her presence on board the frigate "L&#8217;Étoile" during the Bougainville expedition, around the world and in Madagascar. Nautical charts and plates drawn by painters and naturalists are works of art that illustrate the narratives of travel. The in-depth study of the Navy archives at the origin of these stories, in particular the reading of each command report written by the captain of the vessel, head of the hydrographic and scientific mission, informs us about the adventures experienced by the crews, naturalists and painters. As a marine historian and naturalist, this research leads us to promote long-term scientific exploration on the seas, oceans and continents.}}
