Abstract: French insurance companies have faced various economic crisis ever since their birth at the beginning of the 19th century. The study especially focuses on three property and casualty insurance companies: the Assurance mutuelle de la Seine et de la Seine-et-Oise (1819), Cérès (1822), and Les Travailleurs français (1883). In the long run, insurance companies came to a financial stability record in 1914 before experiencing a long decrease in its premium: inflation thus appears to be a symptom of a lasting decline in the firms? equity until the premium are indexed to the price level.
