Between her childhood in Bellac and her time as a castaway on an islet in the middle of the Pacific, the protagonist of Suzanne et le Pacifique becomes a solitary wanderer in the streets of Paris, in a chapter that evokes the favorite haunts of Giraudoux’s youth before the Great War. This article aims to analyze the “three Parises” present in his novel: the transitory space between the French mainland and the exotic island; the unruly capital that remains incomprehensible to those from the provinces; and the beating heart of a homeland that must be defended.
