The book recounts the 20 days he spent in Paris’s La Santé prison between 21 October and 10 November, following his first-instance conviction to five years in prison, including an immediate custodial sentence, for association de malfaiteurs.
News of the memoir has already generated substantial media attention.
According to local reports, Sarkozy will begin a short promotional tour in Marseille on 11 December before travelling to Cannes the following morning.
His final stop will be Menton, where he will join his son, Louis Sarkozy, who is running for mayor.
The former president is set to sign copies of his book at La Librairie de la Presse on Avenue Félix-Faure on Friday 12 December from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.
The location carries added significance: Louis Sarkozy held a signing for his own book there earlier in 2025, an event that helped fuel early speculation about his involvement in local politics - speculation that has since been confirmed by his candidacy.
