Topos of France included in the paradigm of Russia/Europe, is one of the chronotopic dominantof the Autodocumental text describing its conceptual sphere, embodied the specificity of the memoirist’s world picture, mechanisms of self-interpretation and self-description and represented in it author’s reception of the Russian-French cultural dialogue.
