«L'allée du Roi» is the historical novel by Françoise Chandernagor, published by Le grand livre du mois in hardback (633 pages, in French).
The novel is presented as apocryphal memoirs in which Françoise d'Aubigné, Marquise de Maintenon, evokes her rise from a childhood marked by prison and poverty to her marriage to Louis XIV. Between the court, the friendship of Ninon de Lenclos and final devotion, Chandernagor reconstructs the 17th century and the face of a little-known woman.
The novel, originally published in 1981, won the Prix des Ambassadeurs and was among the twenty best books of the year for Lire magazine.
For those seeking a fictionalised approach to the 17th-century French court and the figure of Madame de Maintenon.
Françoise Chandernagor is a French writer. The daughter of André Chandernagor, she is a former student of the École nationale d'administration, and she became a member of the Council of State in 1969.
