  In the comment by T.Dauxois et al.,(cond-mat/0605445), the authors question
our application of the nonextensive statistical mechanics proposed by Tsallis,
to explain the anomalous dynamics of the Hamiltonian Mean Field (HMF) model.
More specifically they claim that the explanation of the metastability found in
the out-of-equilibrium dynamics is only a fitting procedure and is also in
contrast with a previous application. This criticism mostly relies on recent
studies based on the Vlasov approach, where the authors claim to explain the
anomalous behaviour of the HMF model in terms of a standard formalism. In order
to reply to this comment we want to stress a few numerical facts and conclude
with some final considerations. A recent paper by P-H. Chavanis
(cond-mat/0604234) is also important to clarify the question here debated.
