Pontigny, 1928: Raymond Aron is invited by Paul Desjardins to take part in the Décades, a summer gathering at this Burgundy abbey of intellectuals and writers of the day. Cerisy, 1958: Raymond Aron organizes a meeting in this Normandy château to discuss the British historian Arnold Toynbee and his concept of civilizations. Two dates, two historic sites, but the same continuity: continuing the intellectual adventure initiated at the turn of the century by Paul Desjardins.
