The Favorites of Marie-Antoinette (14x1)

: 13, 2020

Queen of France at 18, Marie-Antoinette becomes in a few years the most hated character in the country and will be executed at 38 after a mock trial. In her fall, she took with her the intimate circle that she had formed in Versailles: the Princess of Lamballe, the Duchess of Polignac, the very attractive Count Axel de Fersen, the fashion merchant Rose Bertin or her portrait painter, the talented Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun.
