The article starts from the irrefutable assumption that the 1958 Constitution has introduced significant and lasting institutional and political changes. Yet, certain practices and conventions have proved stronger than the law and have shown an undeniable resilience even after fifty years of the Fifth Republic. Mores have been stronger than the law. Among the many examples of this phenomenon, the article discusses five questions: the predominance of male elites, the persistence of the practice of holding multiple elected offices, the protest tradition, the weakness of Parliament and an ambivalent attitude toward the juridical norm.
