Alumni Return to the University for Marc Bloch's Induction into the Pantheon
On June 23, 2026, some twenty alumni of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne university had the privilege of gathering to mark the induction of Marc Bloch—historian, former professor at our university, and a leading figure in the Resistance—into the Panthéon, during an evening dedicated to history, the passing down of knowledge, and remembrance.
The event began with opening remarks by Christine Neau-Leduc, president of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne university; Frédérique Berrod, president of the University of Strasbourg; and Romain Hurret, president of EHESS. It continued with a roundtable discussion featuring EHESS historians Stéphane Audoin-Rouzeau and Judith Lyon-Caen, Anne Couchon, professor of modern history at the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, and Catherine Maurer, professor of contemporary history at the University of Strasbourg. Their discussion shed light on Marc Bloch’s work, thought, and intellectual legacy.
Participants then gathered for a convivial cocktail reception before watching the procession pass by the Dean’s apartment and following the national Panthéon induction ceremony live on screens.
