Summary/Abstract: In this article, we present exploratory elements concerning the Romanian Orthodox Church « outside the borders » by assuming its territorial adaptations as well as a nascent « diaspora ». We explain how this Church organizes itself in Western Europe and particularly in France and how it adapts its structures in this context. We present the situation of ecclesiastical multi-jurisdiction and the issues it raises while examining the conditions of existence of the Romanian Orthodox population in western Europe. In order to do so, we must address the questions of ethno-phyletism or nationalism which irrigate the behavior of the Romanian Orthodox Church outside the borders but also the provisional solutions to remedy this situation. The situation of the Romanian Orthodox Church in France is illuminated. First of all, we retrace a brief history of the Romanian presence in France since the nineteenth century, originally almost exclusively Parisian, while exposing the major stages of the implantation of the Orthodox Church. We highlight the dilemmas faced by the Romanian Orthodox Church and its« diaspora » but also the dynamics committed within this« Orthodox community » to be territorially and socially integrated in France. In the same time, We question the relevance of the use, in this context, of certain notions such as « diaspora ». Finally, we describe the follow-up to this presentation by formulating working hypotheses for the study of the Romanian Orthodox communities at a local level and the results that we can expect.
