Abstract: [eng] We study a unique data set giving the French annual income distribution from 1977 to 1994. We show that households from recent generations tend to have lower income and standard of living at the begining of the life cycle than older generations. Concerning infra-generational inequalities, we show that the variance of French income distribution tends to be contracyclical. [fre] L'époque semble révolue où chaque génération bénéficiait, en chaque âge de la vie, d'un niveau de vie supérieur à celui des générations précédentes. Les jeunes générations ont des débuts de plus en plus difficiles, mais maintiennent par­tiellement leur niveau de vie en retardant les naissances et la constitution des familles.
