Resumo: The concept of man as homo viator portraits the manifestations of civilization of the medieval Christian Western. In the beginnings of its literature the travel is particularly important for the development of the narrative. Chivalric literature of the twelfth century (Chrétien de Troyes) places the travel itinerary of his characters in a particular space to be distinguished from the narrations of a few years later (Jean Renart) which are situated in a new space. The transition from the castle to the town is more than a change of set, it shows a new perception of the reality that prepares the following narrative and the emergence of travel books in the second half of the century.
