520			_aCécile and Étienne were lovers. She was a thirty-six year-old mother, married and living in Paris ; he was ten years younger, single, living in the suburbs and lacking in sexual experience. Their vast correspondence, deposited with the Association pour l’autobiographie et le patrimoine autobiographique (APA, Association for Autobiography and Autobiographical Heritage), constitutes a documentary source of great value. Referencing the phenomenon of micro-history and relying upon discourse analysis, we shall attempt to follow the trajectory of Cécile and Étienne’s relationship between 1945 and 1960, focusing in particular on its beginnings from 1945 to 1949. Analysing an adulterous relationship from such an inside perspective will shed light on the metamorphosis of intimacy that occurred during the Baby Boom era, in particular with regard to male and female gender roles. By playing with contrasts, this unique story can also provide information regarding the representation of marriage during the post-war era – a period of time fraught with doubts concerning the conjugal institution. How did this adulterous couple challenge and circumvent conjugal norms, while simultaneously seeking to conform to them ?
