Abstract

France is a Catholic country with a secular culture, a country which belongs simultaneously to the Northern European area and to the Southern European area. In the religious field, France indeed occupies the middle ground between Northern Europe and Southern Europe. Nevertheless, as regards religion, there appears to be no striking difference between Northern France and Southern France. In this secular country, Catholicism continues to play a public role, especially in times of national mourning. Finally, the author considers whether, with the recent secularization of laïcité itself, we shall shortly see the end of the “French exception”.
