Au cœur de l'histoire: La tragédie du Duc du Maine (Franck Ferrand)

Franck Ferrand speaks to us today about one of Louis XIV's children. Louis XIV had only one legitimate son—the Grand Dauphin is, in any case, the only one of his legitimate children who survived—but he had numerous illegitimate children and a few legitimated illegitimate children; it is to this latter species that the Duke of Maine, son of the king and Madame de Montespan, belongs—undoubtedly Louis XIV's most interesting son. You will be able to judge for yourself. To speak to us about this, Franck Ferrand invited Jean-François Solnon, a great connoisseur of Ancien Régime France.
