About this book

Memoirs of the Courts of Louis XV and XVI draws on the recollections of Madame du Hausset (died c.1801), the lady's maid to Madame de Pompadour who watched the private life of Versailles from inside the royal mistress's apartments. Her memoir records the king, the court, and Pompadour's reign with rare close detail. The volume pairs her account with related court memoirs, giving an intimate window on the French monarchy in the decades before the Revolution.
