Abstract
At the end of the nineties, Jean-Jacques Lefrère's research on Isidore Ducasse, his family, his alleged friends and his time allowed him to get close to some figures with imprecise contours. This investigation reinforced the works of Gervasio and Álvaro Guillot Muñoz and of the Pichon-Riviére, mainly. Now, this text will propose some hypotheses about the last days of François Ducasse, the retired old diplomat who survived his son Isidore almost twenty years, and how could it be the litle medium in wich he moved. For the preparation of the work it has been fundamental a documentation still unexplored -as far as we know-, partially annexeted to the end of the article. The spectrum of Lautréamont can be stay after the lost steps of François Ducasse in his long final residence in the Hotel des Pyramides, in Montevideo, where he died on November 18, 1889.
