???????? From his legitimate wife to his many mistresses, from first loves to favorites, women passed through the life of Louis XIV, thus giving the sovereign the image of a king in love and above all a great seducer. Going beyond this cliché, Michel Field and his guests invite you to discover how Louis XIV built himself sentimentally, what place Queen Marie-Thérèse occupied in the heart of the king and in the monarchical organization, what influence mistresses and favorites were able to exert… and above all what true personality is revealed through his relationship with women. With the participation of: - Michel Field, journalist and writer; - Joëlle Chevé, historian, journalist for the magazine Historia and columnist of historical works; - Hélène Delalex, heritage curator at the Palace of Versailles; - Jean-François Kervéan, writer, journalist, critic and literary columnist; - Agnès Walch, university professor, specialist in the Ancien Régime as well as marriage and the couple. ????
