In 1661, Nicolas Fouquet was the most powerful minister in the kingdom. A few months later, he was arrested on the orders of the king, then 23 years old, who intended to rule alone.
Behind this arbitrary arrest lay much more than a simple disgrace: the birth of the absolute monarchy and the rise of the man who would become the Sun King.

Concept très intéressant.
Sujet qui mériterait d'être développé.
Noyé dans la répudiation, les ronciers, l'oubli révolutionnaire, ses ruines le cachèrent; Alfred Sommier apparut d'un coup, à la chandelle.
Il redonna tout son lustre royal à cette demeure iconique. La famille poursuit aujourd'hui. Étonnant!
Idem pour Versailles, là ce sont les Américains et un poète parnassien, puis Gérald van der Kemp. Surprenant!
L'iconoclaste: le vaccin triomphant. Marrant!
Finalement le régime du roi Soleil était aussi pourri que la monarchie qui règne aujourd'hui en France.
que les dirigeants du "Fouquet's" songent à changer le nom de leur établissement...
Ils pensent le rebaptiser le "Macron's" ...ça fait plus moderne.
