The Three Musketeers exhibition at the Sainte-Chapelle of the Château de Vincennes

 

4

Young musketeer, sheathe your weapon! You have fought well: it is time to feed yourself. For this, you are called to the heart of the sumptuous Sainte-Chapelle of the Château de Vincennes. In front of you, several irresistibly delicious tables are set up. If you are a little rustic by nature, sit around the inn table, a must in our 17th century, perhaps you will meet people there. Do you feel more delicate? A precious table where d’Artagnan and Milady sit awaits you, covered with fine dishes and elegant tableware. Still dissatisfied? Your royal desires will be fulfilled! At the sovereigns' table, at the back of the chapel, you will find your king and your queen served by Vatel, around a table adorned with the most beautiful regalia. Based on the novel by Alexandre Dumas, this theatrical exhibition combines silverware and beautiful tablecloths with a series of costumed reconstructions, inspired by real creations from 1630 to 1665. Enough to admire magnificent pieces while delving into the most famous cloak and dagger story. Fully satisfied? Run to defend your queen!µ

Did you know?
To write the epic of the three musketeers, Alexandre Dumas was inspired by the “affair of the ferrets” of 1625, a historical anecdote worthy of a TV series. Cardinal Richelieu wanted to discredit Queen Anne of Austria by accusing her of having given jewelry to an English gentleman, supposed to be her lover... Does that remind you of anything?
