Lecture des Correspondances de Madame de Sévigné

Lecture des Correspondances de Madame de Sévigné

June 12 at 3pm

Step into the 17th century as performers bring Madame de Sévigné's famous letters to life. Her witty chronicles of Parisian court life, written to her beloved daughter, fill the Petit Château's rooms with intrigue, gossip, and the voice of France's greatest letter writer. A post-reading discussion lets you dig deeper into the Grand Siècle.
