Abstract:
Following the defeat of France in 1940, the École Nationale des Cadres was set up at the Château d'Uriage, in the Alps above Grenoble, to train an elite drawn from the young intelligentsia as part of a larger effort to transform the nation. Some of the most imaginative and original guidelines for a French National Revolution under the Vichy government were formulated here. Uriage soon became not only an avant-garde community, living in what it described as "the style of the twentieth century," but also an innovative and prestigious think-tank of the National Revolution, embodying many of the strengths and weaknesses of the ascendant French anti-liberal conservative revolutionaries.
