This paper documents the importance of French Guiana within the Modern World and the influence of this colony, considered as marginal, on the Atlantic trading networks of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. To reconstruct French Guiana’s commercial network, a material culture analysis of six archaeological collections and records of the boats reaching Cayenne annually during the Ancien Régime were juxtaposed. Through the lens of microhistory, this method led to a revisitation of the Eurocentric economic theories of the Ancien Régime, notably the protectionist policy of l’Exclusif, to better appreciate how the decisions of French Guiana authorities outmaneuvered the imperial power and had a tangible impact on the Atlantic economy by operating outside of the economic precepts of mercantilism.

本文记录了法属圭亚那在现代世界中的重要性，以及该殖民地（被认为是边缘国家）对17世纪和18世纪大西洋贸易网络的影响。为了重建法属圭亚那的商业网络，并列了对六种考古收藏品的物质文化分析和在AncienRégime期间每年到达卡宴的船只的记录。从微观历史的角度来看，这种方法导致了对安吉·里吉姆（AncienRégime）欧洲中心经济理论的重新审视，尤其是l'Exclusif的贸易保护主义政策， 为了更好地理解法属圭亚那当局的决定如何超越帝国主义力量，并通过在重商主义的经济戒律之外行事，对大西洋经济产生了切实的影响。
