Resumen
This article attempts to show the relevance and significance of the Jacobean universe in the narrative genre of the French nouvelle within the period that spans from the beginning of the 16th century to the end of the 18th century. Although the presence of the Jacobean issue is far from overwhelming, its thematic interest cannot be neglected. There are nouvelles which include passages related to the Jacobean pilgrimage which offer valuable testimony on the journey to Compostela and on the importance that France attached to this pilgrimage. Thus, a historical reading is possible, allowing the critic a diachronic understanding of this phenomenon. Some of these passages have, additionally, a literary function (narrative or descriptive).
