During the last Argentine dictatorship (1976-1983) forms of social cohabitation, including particular modes of responsibility and resistance, were significant in their heterogeneity, both geographically and --even in the same city or town-- affectedly. This paper proposes to examine a European outpost of the Argentine state --which has a complex specificity due to its location in a foreign country--, to approach an insistent question in studies of the recent past: what were the relations between society and the regime? In more concrete terms: how, during seven years, did the residents live in a house directly affiliated to a dictatorial regime, yet located in France, under a democratic government which, during many years, maintained good relations with the last Argentine dictatorship? Which --and why-- were the core implications of this cohabitation, the particular interrelations between residents and the House authorities, the tactics adopted to endure everyday life while, four thousand miles away, the perceived exceptionality was itself quotidian and grounded in normality? One of this paper's hypotheses is that the category of neighbour is fertile territory upon which to think and respond to these questions. Indeed, an investigation of the Argentinean House in Paris facilities a synecdoche approach to the broader exploration of the notion of cohabitation between France and Argentina during the last dictatorship.
