La france de mes 7 ans - Chronique politique d'un Français moyen (1956-2026)
La France de mes 7 ans est le regard vibrant et sans détour d'un homme qui a vu la France changer au fil des décennies. Entre souvenirs personnels, confidences et analyse des grands tournants politiques de la V République, l'auteur questionne avec force ce qu'il reste de la souveraineté du peuple français. Un récit lucide, habité et profondément humain, qui parle autant de mémoire que d'avenir.
