For many, the name Lazard is synonymous with the banking dynasty that pioneered the modern investment bank with the invention of mergers and acquisitions. Jackie Raynal sets out one summer for the mountains of Haute-Savoie to meet Simon Lazard, one of the heirs of the group. Lazard, at the age of 100, wants to set down part of his story — the Occupation, his lands, and his pro-European views.
