Résumé:Paul Seippel has not remained in the public memory. This professor of French literature at the Federal Polytechnic School of Zürich is perhaps better known in Switzerland, where he was an influential journalist at the Journal de Genève. Yet Seippel is the author of a book that appeared in the wake of the law of 1905 and caused quite a stir: Les Deux Frances et leurs origines historiques (The Two Frances and Their Historical Origins). As the popularity of the expression demonstrates, Les Deux France was a highly controversial work that sparked debate in the press across the entire political spectrum. This article revisits the reception of Seippel’s book. It sets out the theoretical debates to which it gave rise in the aftermath of the separation of church and state.Keywords: Seippel, Switzerland, 1905, journalism, War between the Two Frances.
