The race for urbanization represented the ideal. The amenities of a man-made living environment had led to the belief that, in comparison, rustic and exotic landscapes were very little. But in front of the plan drawn by the writers, especially Rousseau in The New Heloïse and Bernardinde Saint-Pierre, in Paul and Virginie, to find peace and fullness, nature acquires its letters of nobility. In addition, the rustic and exotic landscapes are now places par excellence where one will evacuate the stress and the impact of the unfortunate events of the city. Nature is in a way the escape from the troubles and contradictions of modernity. The human being, in tune with the idea that nature can bring him comfort, no longer hesitates to get back to the point where it speaks to his senses.
