Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : This paper deals with the intellectual itinerary of the late Alsatian historian Jean Meyer (1924-2022). One of the “Malgré-nous,” agrégé in history in 1952, and posted to teach in Nantes, Meyer devoted his thesis to the Breton nobility, which he understood in a broad sense, of the eighteenth century. He obtained a university teaching post at Rennes in 1966, then at Paris-IV Sorbonne in 1980. His career has two stages, one devoted to Brittany, the other, the Parisian period, with its broader perspectives. Indeed, his very varied body of work is distinguished by its breadth of view: encompassing the point of view of the state and that of the province, and illuminated by an international bibliography and European comparisons; all this accompanied by a sovereign indifference to historiographical fashions.
