Madame de Montespan was the famed mistress of Louis XIV; her story is well-known. And what about Monsieur de Montespan?

Monsieur and Madame de Montespan’s marriage begins with true love and happiness, but without much riches. To help build a family fortune, Madame de Montespan allows herself to become the object of Louis XIV’s desires. Her beauty, wit and humor become famous to the detriment of her marriage. Although he should feel honored, her husband’s jealousy and feelings of abandonment take him into battle with the King. Rather than using his position to empower himself like any other Frenchmen would have, Montespan makes countless attempts to win back his wife, all fruitless and some of which land him in jail or in exile.

Once again Teulé mixes comedy with tragedy, his trademark that has led to his international success.
