The castle of La Brosse knew its hours of glory with Anne Léon, duke of Montmorency, and his wife Charlotte Françoise born Montmorency Luxembourg. The celebrations will be brilliant and full of spirit, as relates it the collection of La Brosse, moving and charming manuscript of 1780 bound in red morocco, which we join to the two views of the castle Some extracts of the collection: "In September Mr. The Marshal and Mrs. The Marshal Of Richelieu came to spend a few days to the castle of La Brosse. One evening when they were shown the theatre, they took the opportunity to amuse them by a little impromptu scene..."
Enigma.
To Madame La Duchesse de M...
Happy rival of painting
Better than Vanlo, better than LaTour
I can be seen rendering nature
In all the brightness of the most beautiful day.
I even preserve the life
To these millons of various objects:
With which the soul of the wise man is delighted
When he contemplates the Universe.
Couplets sung to engage
Madame La Marquise De La R... to stay eight more days at La Brosse:
What! You want to leave us tomorrow
, leave us, nasty friend
What! You want to leave us here tomorrow
of your kind company
like that to deprive us suddenly
is to stop in the middle of the road
For me, I am sorry, without lying. [...]
Madame Dela R... has not left.
Couplet sung by Madame La Duchesse de M... to Mr. Le Marquis du R... who was still in bed at ten o'clock:
Can one be so lazy?
What! Must we wake you up?
A young man at this happy age
Never slumber so long Quit, Marquis, quit the bed
