| Summary: | Mass tourism and elite tourism are to be explored in international relations. The Franco-Spanish case proves it. From dictatorship to democracy, the view of the French executive on Spain evolves according to the opening of the latter to mass tourism. De Gaulle's journey is undoubtedly the most amazing episod. After his resignation, he criss-crossed the peninsula in 1970 before his controversial meeting with Franco. Was it an anecdotal stay or, on the contrary, a revelation of the projections and the brakes of French diplomacy towards the modernization and the opening up of Spain ? Beyond current affairs, speeches and practices change as tourism opens up. Politics and leisure time are here two spheres that interpenetrate. Confronting the reading of tourism by decision-makers with documents that echo a more popular culture also questions the sometimes tenuous dividing line between tourism and political fact. |
