Summary:Maurice Grimaud a ete le prefet de police de Paris lors des evenements de Mai 1968. A partir de ses archives deposees a la Fondation nationale des sciences politiques, recoupees par plusieurs temoignages, cet article montre que Maurice Grimaud chercha a eviter les debordements de violence policiere lors des manifestations de Mai 1968. Il etudie ses relations avec le pouvoir gaulliste. Il s'interesse enfin a l'analyse qu'a pu faire jusqu'a sa mort Maurice Grimaud, qui a beaucoup ecrit sur son experience.//Maurice Grimaud was Paris prefect of police during the events of May 1968. Drawing upon his archives held at the Fondation nationale des sciences politiques as well as several corroborating accounts, this article shows that he sought to prevent police violence from getting out of hand during the May 1968 protests. It examines Grimauds relations with the Gaullist government as well as his own understanding of the experience, a subject about which he extensively wrote before his death. http://www.cairn.info/resume.php?ID_ARTICLE=HP_027_0018] Reproduced by permission of Bibliothèque de Sciences Po
