Une mani�re d'autobiographie intellectuelle, professionnelle et sentimentale � la lumi�re des �crits de Montaigne auquel l'auteur emprunte son titre : tel est ce livre de moraliste sur la vieillesse. L'auteur accueille la retraite comme une � apog�e de la libert� personnelle �. Sa formation � d'enfant des Epinettes �, la rencontre de ma�tres de vie dont il brosse les portraits (Jacques Duhamel, Edgar Faure, Pierre Sudreau...), une carri�re de grand commis de l'Etat attel� � des t�ches tr�s concr�tes (la conduite de l'UNESCO, la cr�ation du mus�e d'Orsay, la mise sur pied du m�c�nat d'entreprises...), une r�flexion sur la paternit� et sur l'amiti�, des interrogations d'�crivain et de lettr� sur les mots, l'affirmation d'une foi religieuse vibrante et inqui�te : autant d'�tapes de ce livre sur un chemin trac� par l'�x�g�se de Montaigne.
