English Summary: The expression "Ecole de Paris" was born in the visual arts milieu of the 1920s to designate foreign artists established in the metropolis. Applied to music, it was used to indicate realities as different as the group of composers who immigrated to Paris in the interwar period (C. Beck, T. Harsanyi, B. Martinu, M. Mihalovici, A. Tansman and A. Tcherepnine ) and all of the composers who have lived at least part of their life in the City of Light. A survey through the press, correspondence, radio broadcasts, scores and scholarly works reconstructs the origins, history and challenges of this versatile label. A new look at the cosmopolitan reality of musical Paris between the wars is thus offered to the reader: xenophobia, internationalism, defense of the "genius of the race" and fascination for exoticism coexist in discourse and in fact. This work sheds light on the issues concerning the place occupied by the works of foreign composers in Paris within French music, thus offering a new perspective on the history of immigration in France. French Description: L'expression Ecole de Paris est nee dans le milieu des arts visuels des annees 1920 pour designer les artistes etrangers installes dans la metropole. Ensuite appliquee a la musique, elle a ete employee pour indiquer des realites aussi differentes qu'un groupe de compositeurs immigres a Paris dans l'entre-deux-guerres (C. Beck, T. Harsanyi, B. Martinů, M. Mihalovici, A. Tansman et A. Tcherepnine) et l'ensemble de tous les compositeurs de toute epoque ayant vecu au moins une partie de leur vie dans la Ville Lumiere. Une enquete a travers la presse, les correspondances, les emissions radiophoniques, les partitions et les ouvrages savants reconstruit les origines, l'histoire et les enjeux de cette etiquette polyvalente (d'ou le pluriel du titre). Un nouveau regard sur la realite cosmopolite du Paris musical de l'entre-deuxguerres est ainsi offert au lecteur : xenophobie, internationalisme, defense du genie de la race et fascination pour l'exotisme coexistent dans le discours et dans les faits. Cet ouvrage eclaire les enjeux concernant la place occupee par les oeuvres des compositeurs etrangers a Paris au sein de la musique française , offrant ainsi un regard inedit sur l'histoire de l'immigration en France.
