This work provides a unique perspective on the tumultuous events of the French Revolution through the eyes of Louise-Élisabeth de Croy, the governess to the children of the French royal family. It captures the struggles, sacrifices, and intimate moments of the royal family during a period of profound societal upheaval. The opening of the memoir introduces the author and sets the stage for her role as the governess amidst the chaos of the Revolution. As she recounts her experience of being appointed by Queen Marie-Antoinette, she reflects on the challenges and dangers that her trusted position entails. The tumultuous political climate of late 1789 is vividly painted as the royal family faces increasing hostility and unrest, culminating in their forced relocation from Versailles to Paris. Madame de Tourzel's narrative promises a compelling exploration of loyalty, duty, and the emotional turmoil experienced by those who stood by the monarchy during its most trying times.
