Description

Héritier d'une grande famille du XIXe siècle qui s'était illustrée dans l'industrie, la finance et la politique, Paul-Louis Weiller a vécu plusieurs vies successives. Ingénieur de l'Ecole centrale, il est un héros de l'aviation pendant la guerre 1914-1918. Imposant l'utilisation de la photographie aérienne lors des vols de reconnaissance, il est plusieurs fois abattu avec son avion et blessé. Douze fois cité à l'ordre de l'armée, fait officier de la Légion d'honneur à vingt-cinq ans, il termine la guerre auprès du maréchal Foch et assiste à la signature du traité de Versailles comme aide de camp du chef des armées alliées. Patron d'industrie dès l'âge de vingt-neuf ans, de 1922 à 1940, Paul-Louis Weiller développe la plus importante entreprise européenne de construction de moteurs d'avion, Gnôme et Rhône, qui deviendra la SNECMA après sa nationalisation en 1945. Il crée des lignes aériennes qui seront regroupées par l'Etat en 1933 pour devenir Air France dont il sera un des premiers administrateurs. Arrêté en 1940 par le gouvernement de Vichy, il s'enfuit en Amérique du Nord où il contribue à l'action de la France libre. De retour en Europe après la guerre, il concentre son activité sur la finance internationale et le mécénat artistique. Il soutient la rénovation du château de Versailles, crée une compagnie de ballets, aide de nombreux artistes. Son objectif est de refaire de Paris la capitale de la culture. Cette action est couronnée en 1965 par son entrée à l'Académie des Beaux-Arts. Paul-Louis Weiller mène une intense vie mondaine entre les familles royales d'Europe, les hommes politiques, de Vincent Auriol à Georges Pompidou et Richard Nixon qui sont ses amis, les personnalités des arts, des lettres, du cinéma et de la scène. Il anime le dernier des salons parisiens, dans la tradition de ceux décrits par Marcel Proust.
