Naissance d'un mythe - Louis Delaporte et le Cambodge. 1842, 12 janvierLouis-Marie Joseph Delaporte est né à Loches, en Touraine. Issu d’un milieu conservateur, il reçut une éducation classique. Son intérêt précoce pour les voyages s’exprime lorsqu’il choisit de faire ses études à l’École navale de Brest, le Borda. Peu à l’aise dans la vie de poste, comme il l’écrit à son père, il semble éprouver quelques difficultés dans ses rapports avec les autres. Des voyages qu’il accomplira, Louis Delaporte attend surtout surprises et émotions qui rempliront ma vie et me donneront des souvenirs pour plus tard. 1865Le destin des hommes tient souvent à peu de choses ; ce sont les hasards de sa vie de marin qui conduisirent Louis Delaporte en Extrême-Orient. 1866En revanche, la découverte du site d’Angkor va constituer un véritable tournant dans sa vie.
