This book, originally published in 1787, recounts the diary of Papillon de La Fertà , a steward in charge of the Menus-Plaisirs du Roi (the King's Pleasures and Menus) during the reign of Louis XVI. The journal gives readers a glimpse into the lavish spectacles and performances that characterized the court of Versailles and the intrigues that unfolded behind the scenes. Delving into the complexities of the French court and offering insights into its theatrics, the author lays bare the rivalries, scandals, and conflicts that played out among the actors, dancers, musicians, and other members of the royal entertainment troupe. The diary spans a rich period in the cultural and political history of France, providing valuable historical context for understanding the opulence and excess that preceded the French Revolution.
