About this book
Memoirs of the Court of Marie Antoinette, Queen of France, Volume 3 is by Mme. Campan and carries the heading Historic Memoirs of Madam Campan, First Lady in Waiting to the Queen. Chapter VI says that during the first few months of his reign Louis XVI. dwelt at La Muette, Marly, and Compiegne. One account says the Queen was astonished that any man in good society should believe she would do so ill-judged a thing as to change the French names of her palaces to foreign ones.
When the King asks what he wants, the speaker answers that he is seventy years of age, has served the King more than fifty years, and is dying for want. Next morning the same speaker is sent for by the King, who grants him an annuity of 1,500 livres out of his privy purse. The Queen's answer to the Duc de Fronsac, first gentleman of the chamber, says she holds no court at Trianon and lives like a private person.
