Aspects de la France

[3] Prominent contributors included Maurice Pujo, Charles Maurras (writing as "Octave Martin"), Pierre Boutang, Xavier Vallat, Michel Déon, Jacques Perret, Roger Nimier, Antoine Blondin, and historian Philippe Ariès.

From the 1960s onwards, several other periodicals linked to Aspects de la France and the Restauration nationale movement were created: AF Université (AFU), which succeeded Amitiés françaises universitaires under the direction of Jean-Marc Varaut, was a monthly royalist French journal published from 1955 to 1973.

[4][5] It served as the student branch of the periodical Aspects de la France, which succeeded L'Action française by Charles Maurras.

These tensions led to a split within Restauration nationale, with dissidents Yvan Aumont, Bertrand Renouvin, and Gérard Leclerc leaving the movement to form the Nouvelle Action française.

Simultaneously, the Restauration nationale movement began publishing L'Action française étudiante as a supplement to Aspects de la France.

Each issue focused on a single theme, including decentralization, education, capitalism, Europe, agriculture, local freedoms, the NAF and revolution, and Bertrand Renouvin's campaign for the 1974 presidential election.

In the mid-1970s, it was led by a group of students seeking to modernize traditional Action française themes, promoting a new, authentically royalist and "reactionary" politics.

Under editor Paul-Henry Hansen-Catta, contributors included the Bocquillon brothers, François Moulin — leader of the Action française high school students in the Paris region — and Jacques Destouche.
