Abstract
The establishment of productive colonies of French in Mexico witnessed several projects between 1833 and 1835 which selected the region of San Rafael-Jicaltepec in the north of the State of Veracruz. The climate and fertility of this region, which favored the production of products highly valued in Europe such as vanilla, attracted families of migrants in order to implement a productive system based on societal and community ideas inspired by Charles Fourier. The organizer of the project, M. Guénot led two expeditions as general director of the company financed by the settlers themselves who became shareholders of the company. Just over two hundred people arrived on the banks of the Nautla River to found a model agricultural colony.
