«L'amour à Versailles» is the historical essay by Alain Baraton, published by Grasset & Fasquelle in paperback (281 pages, in French).
A walk through Versailles beyond the guides: salons, alcoves and woods serve as the setting for amorous anecdotes of the court. Louis XV, Madame de Maintenon and Charles de Gaulle star in gallant episodes. Baraton combines personal memories with precise documentation to tell the little history: secrets, sighs, laughter and the occasional tear.
Originally published on 13 May 2009. Includes bibliographical references (pages 279-280).
For readers interested in the history of France, the court of Versailles and historical anecdotes told from a close perspective.
