Nicolas d'Estienne d'Orves

Nicolas d’Estienne d’Orves (born 10 September 1974, in Neuilly-sur-Seine) is a French journalist and writer.

At the age of 22, while writing a master's thesis at the Sorbonne, he discovered his Histoire de la musique[2] and grew passionate about its author.

On this occasion, he met Pierre Darrigrand, Rebatet's executor, who before dying of cancer asked him to become, in turn, the beneficiary of the writer.

In December 2008, he was terminated by his director Marc-Olivier Dupin [fr] for blasphemy and pornography after broadcasting a bawdy version of the Christmas carol Il est né, le divin Enfant.

He is the author of several short stories, essays and novels, notably Othon ou l'Aurore immobile, crowned with the Prix Roger Nimier in 2002.
