In May 1974, Valéry Giscard d'Estaing became the third President of the Fifth Republic. An alternation of power that did not speak its name opened the doors of power to a reforming president.

At the age of 90, the former President of the Republic has agreed to look back on these years and gives us a valuable account of his time in power.
