The banners of the 16 January 1994 demonstration seemed to indicate a forceful return of secular culture. Nevertheless, recent
events were not a « reverse 1984 ». In the meantime, the secular ideal was rejuvenated at the very time it was returning to its

republican logic which has so deeply shaped French political culture since 1789.
