1. A flexible guide for a rotating resonator mechanism, the guide comprising a fixed support, an element that is capable of moving relative to the fixed support, at least two main flexible blades allowing the movable element to move relative to the fixed support by bending the main flexible blades via a rotary motion about a centre of rotation, the flexible guide being arranged substantially in one plane, said flexible guide comprising at least two translation tables, each joined to one end of a main flexible blade, such that each translation table is configured to move in translation at least in part under the effect of the bending of the corresponding main flexible blade, the flexible guide comprising at least one tertiary flexible blade connecting the two translation tables.
