Disparue des publicit�s commerciales qui vantent la saveur du chocolat, sainte Genevi�ve impose encore sa haute silhouette protectrice sur le pont de la Tournelle � Paris, � deux pas de Notre-Dame. Les fl�neurs qui arpentent le Quartier latin gravissent sa Montagne, les visiteurs du Panth�on renouent avec son histoire esquiss�e par le pinceau de Puvis de Chavannes, et les �tudiants se pressent dans la biblioth�que qui porte son nom. Qui �tait donc cette femme contemporaine de Clovis et d'Attila? Comment s'est d�ploy� le culte � son endroit, qui demeure, aujourd'hui encore, entretenu par la confr�rie des porteurs de la ch�sse de ses reliques? Une vingtaine de chercheurs ont uni leurs savoirs et crois� leurs enqu�tes afin de restituer sainte Genevi�ve � la m�moire de notre temps. Ils d�cryptent ici les textes, les partitions et les images qui, au fil des �poques, ont donn� consistance � la figure polys�mique d'une sainte �minente, imagin�e sous les traits d'une berg�re qu'elle ne fut pas. Elle inspira P�guy, Apollinaire et Claudel. De Nanterre � Paris, elle demeure, selon la formule de Michel Zink, Secr�taire perp�tuel honoraire de l'Acad�mie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres, �le bien commun de tous les habitants du grand Paris�. Saint Genevieve has disappeared from commercial avertissements promoting the taste of chocolate, but as a patron saint of Paris her silhouette still dominates on the Pont de la Tournelle a few yards from Notre-Dame. A stroll in the Latin Quarter of Paris still takes us up her hill, 'Montagne Sainte-Genevi�ve'. In the Panth�on the visitor still encounters her story told by the palette of Puvis de Chavannes, and students still pour into the library that bears her name. Who was she, this woman, a contemporary of Clovis and Attila the Hun? And while her cult is maintained today by the brotherhood responsible for the shrine and her relics, how did it unfold? Some twenty scholars have come together to pool their knowledge and recreate through their research a portrait of St Genevieve in and for our time. Texts, musical scores and images are analysed to discover the multiple 'reality' given to this eminent saint, who has been fancifully portrayed with the features of a shepherdess. She has been an inspiration to P�guy, Apollinaire and Claudel. From Nanterre to Paris she remains, in Michel Zink's words, 'the common property of all the inhabitants of Greater Paris'.
