Something was missing in my solution : to deal with cases such as the 
"casus irreducibilis", one has to "Chop" the small imaginary parts :

In[1]:=
realSolutions[sol_]:=#[[1]]&/@
      Select[{#,#//N//Chop}&/@sol,FreeQ[#[[2]],Complex]&]; 

In[2]:=
(* Example (InputForms inserted for readability) : *)
sol=Solve[x^3-10x+1 == 0];

In[3]:=
sol//InputForm 

Out[3]//InputForm=
{{x -> ((-9 + I*Sqrt[11919])/2)^(1/3)/3^(2/3) + 10/((3*(-9 + 
I*Sqrt[11919]))/2)^(1/3)}, 
 {x -> -((1 + I*Sqrt[3])*((-9 + I*Sqrt[11919])/2)^(1/3))/(2*3^(2/3)) - 
    (5*(1 - I*Sqrt[3]))/((3*(-9 + I*Sqrt[11919]))/2)^(1/3)}, 
 {x -> -((1 - I*Sqrt[3])*((-9 + I*Sqrt[11919])/2)^(1/3))/(2*3^(2/3)) - 
    (5*(1 + I*Sqrt[3]))/((3*(-9 + I*Sqrt[11919]))/2)^(1/3)}}

In[4]:=
realSolutions[sol]//InputForm

Out[4]//InputForm=
{{x -> ((-9 + I*Sqrt[11919])/2)^(1/3)/3^(2/3) + 10/((3*(-9 + 
I*Sqrt[11919]))/2)^(1/3)}, 
 {x -> -((1 + I*Sqrt[3])*((-9 + I*Sqrt[11919])/2)^(1/3))/(2*3^(2/3)) - 
    (5*(1 - I*Sqrt[3]))/((3*(-9 + I*Sqrt[11919]))/2)^(1/3)}, 
 {x -> -((1 - I*Sqrt[3])*((-9 + I*Sqrt[11919])/2)^(1/3))/(2*3^(2/3)) - 
    (5*(1 + I*Sqrt[3]))/((3*(-9 + I*Sqrt[11919]))/2)^(1/3)}}
