What is left of the Action Française, that powerful intellectual and activist space from the first half of the 20th century, in the contemporary political life in France? A quantitative answer to that question would not provide relevant information. However, an ethnographical approach of the study allows for the discovery of an existing vitality in French monarchical networks during the last decades. This permitsthe revision of contemporary works about the new extreme Right Wing and neopopulism from an empirical object virtually unknown and ?old-fashioned?. The empirical analysis realized through the contact with actors belonging to the Action Française, by attending their political meetings and making biographical interviews, enables theidentification of anabeyance structurewhich has allowed for the reproduction of French nationalism and the transmission of a nationalistic culture which have been present in several political organizations and programs in France.
