Abstract EN

This study examines the stages of planning and preparation of the inland African sea project, the saint simonian' s project, in which the human dimensions such as the creation of global unity, as envisioned by saint simon, were associated with the strategic and colonial dimensions.

The Inland African sea, in the name of the French military and geographic leader was associated with François Elie Roudaire, who was involved in the planning of Suez Canal project in Egypt along with Ferdinand de Lesseps.

In Algeria, he issued a series of studies, researches, cartographic and topographical, aiming at revealing the wealth of the region and establishing a network of roads to exploit the country and tighten its control.

The African Inland Sea Project remains one of the most important Roudaire's projects worked on during his stay in Algeria and in the city of Biskra in particular.
