The flexible pivot comprises a first stage comprising a first cylinder (21) and a first interface structure (38) and a second stage comprising a second cylinder (23) and a second interface structure (39) in axial alignment with those of the first stage. A set of flexible connecting members (25, 27, 29, 31) is arranged for connecting the first and the second stages. Each flexible connecting member comprises a pair of legs (33, 35) and a cross member (37) joining the legs, each leg extending in a direction transverse to the axis of the cylinders, and the legs being attached to the first (21) and the second (23) cylinders respectively. Furthermore, the first cylinder and the first interface structure are concentric. Flexible spokes (41) are attached to the first cylinder (23) by one end and to the first interface structure (38) by the other end. Each spoke extends in a direction transverse to the axis of the cylinders. Finally, the second stage comprises flexible connection means (43) arranged to connect the second cylinder (23) to the second interface structure (39).
