The work recounts the author’s experiences and observations during a turbulent period of French history, particularly focusing on the events surrounding the Vendée uprising against Revolutionary France.

At the start of this memoir, the author introduces her background, detailing her noble lineage and upbringing at Versailles.

Additionally, she provides insights into the character of her husband, M. de Lescure, and the significant relationships within their family and social circles.
