Tour of the exhibition ‘Ma Belle Cousine: From the Lady of Burgundy to the Marquise de Sévigné’

To mark European Heritage Days, come and discover Burgundy’s most famous lady, Madame de Sévigné!

Through this exhibition organised by the Pays d’Art et d’Histoire Auxois-Morvan and the Centre des monuments nationaux, discover a woman far more complex and fascinating than the image of the famous letter-writer might suggest.

Through eight thematic sections, the exhibition invites you to discover the many facets of this extraordinary figure: the young lady of Burgundy, the woman of letters, the independent widow, Bussy-Rabutin’s cousin, the literary icon celebrated through the centuries, and the heir to a way of life and style of writing that continues to captivate us today.
