Résumé :

In Jukkasjärvi, a small town located in the county of Kiruna, situated nearly 200 kilometres north of the Arctic Circle, there is an old church, built in 1608, in which one finds a wooden plaque, more precisely the back of a reindeer sleigh, with a curious inscription: It reads: Gallia nos genuit, vidit nos Africa, Gangem Hausimus, Europam que oculis lustravimus omnem: Casibus et variis acti terra que mari que, Stetimus hic tandem nobis ubi defuit orbis De Fercourt.
