«L'affaire Clovis» is the historical essay by Pierre Bergé, published by Plon in 1996 in paperback, 164 pages, in French.
Pierre Bergé questions the legend of Clovis, king of the Franks: the vase of Soissons, his conversion and baptism as the sacred origin of France. He argues that the baptism did not take place in 496 and sees in the state commemoration of its 1500th anniversary a clerical advance that reopens the conflict between confessionalism and secularism.
The work is part of the history of France: Clovis, king of the Franks, anniversaries; commemorative rites; Church and State; French politics of the 20th century.
Recommended for readers of historical essays interested in national memory and the French debate on secularism.
