The Duchess de Polignac Infinite Sweetness and Mistress of Herself

Duchess de Polignac aka Little Po More likely to be seen in pearls than in diamonds


Here is one of my favorite detailed (details, details, details!) accounts of the Duchess de Polignac.  Maxime de La Rocheterie, born 1837,  wrote much on the French Revolution and Marie Antoinette's life.  His works include titles such as La communion de Marie-Antoinette à la conciergerie. I think you will enjoy this bit, from Histoire de Marie-Antoinette.
