Title : Love in Versailles - Alain Baraton - book

Summary :

Here is a visit to Versailles that is not found in any guidebook: Louis XV is caught there enjoying strawberries from the breasts of his mistresses, Madame de Maintenon finds herself in the bed of the king's confessor thanks to a badly extinguished candle, while General de Gaulle modestly asks for the hand of his future wife. A delightful stroll filled with naughty and comical anecdotes, from the alleys to the bedrooms, from the alcoves to the groves. Alongside the great History, edifying, instructive, serious, the little History is, at Versailles, delicious. It is this, intimate, full of sweet sighs, charming secrets, laughter and a few tears, that Alain Baraton strives to bring back to life, mixing personal memories with precise and often unpublished documentation.
