Résumé En

The Paris Ligue, recently studied by the historian and political scientist Elie Barnavi, belongs to the series of political, social and cultural breaks that mark the end of the early modern age. The specific organizational structures of the" Committee of Sixteen" must be closely examined in order to grasp the true social content and acculturational impact of the Ligue. Far from lending itself to an anachronistic reading (for example, in terms of totalitarianism, Terror, and so on), the Ligue emerges as a concerted effort to respond to the attack launched against the "medieval urban system" by the monarchy and its servants, the relatively new stratum of royal officers. This is not to underestimate-far from it-the religious significance of the civil disturbance in Paris.
