Abstract: This article examines how France, a model of centralism, responded during the first phase of the Covid-19 crisis between January and October 2020. The theoretical framework of intergovernmental relations is mobilized to reflect on the successes and failures of our administrative-political system in the face of the pandemic. The article is based on a qualitative and quantitative analysis of reports and speeches published by institutional actors during the crisis and shows relations in permanent tension between hyper-centralization and the development of a more flexible and reactive horizontal governance.
