DoeN! Reading Madame Pompadour

"Passion with Madame de Pompadour"

Born Jeanne-Antoinette Poisson, she first appeared at the French Court at a masked ball in 1745. A short time later, she would move to the castle of Versailles to become the king's mistress. A very special achievement, the first woman of bourgeois descent! What is her secret? How can she hold her own? Of course, her new- king-granted title of Marquise de Pompadour helps a lot.

In addition, Jeanne-Antoinette is beautiful, ambitious and intelligent: in fact, she uses her passion not only for womanizer Louis XV, but also for many other things.
Thus, Pompadour develops into the interlocutor of monarchs, various artists and writers.

To this end, she organizes large-scale balls, soirées, and dinners in Versailles. Often intimate evenings with a culinary surprise. Like the scandalous "Meringues Vénus à l' amour."
What these are, you will hear during the presentation on this self-confident woman who had more to her than seduction!

All in all, an interesting topic: Pompadour, in addition to being Louis XV's mistress, was truly an 18th century "power woman"!
