Abstract: [fre] Résumé L'étude des testaments de la grande noblesse du Faubourg Saint-Germain au XIXe siècle montre son attachement à la religion catholique. Contrairement à ce qui a souvent été affirmé, la foi des nobles formés sous l'Ancien Régime n'est pas une simple attitude conformiste mais paraît être, au contraire une conviction profonde, et cela dès les premières années du siècle. Les nobles plus jeunes semblent également attachés aux valeurs chrétiennes, notamment dans la deuxième moitié du XIXe siècle, et une partie d'entre eux favorise même l'influence de l'église. [eng] Abstract Studying the wills of the nobility of the Faubourg Saint-Germain in the 19th century shows their attachment to Catholicism. In spite of all that has been often asserted, the faith of the nobility educated during the Ancient Régime is not only a conformist attitude but, on the contrary, seems to be a deep conviction they had since the early 1 9th century. The youngest of them also seemed to be attached to the Christian values, specially in the second half of the century, and some of them even favoured the influence of the Church.
