On ne badine pas avec l’amour

Icon-Icon Opinion :
A book that stems indirectly from one of the greatest love stories of literature – we find in the lines of Musset passages of letters written by George Sand, including the famous line: “All men are liars, fickle, false, talkative, hypocritical, proud and cowardly, contemptible and sensual “
Author : Alfred de Musset

Date of Parution: April 2001
As a young graduate, Perdican returns to the castle and finds his cousin Camille, who has left the convent. We reintroduce ourselves. We pretend not to be interested in feelings. We rather discuss. But we also write. Camille has a friend, claiming to have rejected her cousin. The letter is intercepted by Perdican, and there follows a whole cascade of little lies and manipulations that lead to drama. It is not so simple to love each other and to admit it.

The Hôtel de Bourrienne is the only private residence that remains in Paris to recall the atmosphere of the Directoire and the Consulate. A series of small miracles has made this two hundred year continuity possible: since the end of the Age of Enlightenment, great speculators, financiers, manufacturers and captains of industry have succeeded one another within its walls in order to preserve a heritage that is rich in memories. After four years of ambitious restoration, the architecture and decorations are once again revealed with singularity and elegance.
