description In this paper the author analyses the relation between time an place through a study of the work of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Place is defined as a space made unique by relations between humans that it then evoques. This form of production of place relies on the one hand on a time-space relation, of the other hand on the capacity to overcome the tension between contradictory desires: desire for movement, desire for home.

Solution might be immobility in a changing space and a poassing time, it has to be seeked in a specific relation to the past and childhood but also in a certain definition of nostalgia.
