Poor, poor Palatine! Ugly, big, square, full of health, wife of the brother of King sun which unfortunately is gay thoroughly, ("is what one becomes blank after 19 years?" She asks you ... yeah after having made two or three children, her husband knows more). She takes refuge in his correspondence and she tells all: his epic rides to hunts behind the king, waterfalls, children embâtardit that by marrying them to those of the "whore" of Montespan, the royal dead of syphilis The slaughter of the children of Louis XIV, sauerkraut not as good as in Germany, the country of his childhood, it makes sausage taste the king and his dreams of good soup with beer, his worries ... money ... The palate is touching, true to the king who loves, funny, lucid, good judge of the court, we laugh while reading and you learn many things.
