Résumé anglais French banks in the major crises of the 20th century, Alain Plessis. In the 1930s as in the 1980s, French banks were seriously hit by the effects of the economic crisis. But the development of the monetary System during this half-century, in particular the increase of credit circulation, brought about changes in banking. Accused in the two periods of contri-buting to the beginning or the deepening of the crisis, they didn't suffer from the same effects. In the 1980s, there were no massive withdrawal demands whereas the increase of bad risks led to a reduction of banking establishments' resources. Necessitating considerable provisions, this increase reduced their profitability considerably. The adaptation of French banks to a competitive, hight risk market is even more delicate in that they are not totally free from State influence.
