Virginie Girod SEASON 2022 - 202305:28 a.m., November 30, 2022, modified at 05:28 a.m., November 30, 2022

Listen to the story of Madame de Pompadour, one of the greatest royal favorites of the old regime, told by historian Virginie Girod, in an unpublished story in two episodes.

Jeanne-Antoinette Poisson, Marquise de Pompadour, was in charge of the pleasures of King Louis XV, overwhelmed by a permanent depressive state.

He is also credited with a great influence on politics… rightly or wrongly.

In this episode of the podcast "At the heart of History" produced by Europe 1 Studio, Virginie Girod recounts the beginning of the life of this child of the bourgeoisie to whom a fortune teller would have predicted, at the age of 9 , that she would be loved by a king… This story is a Europe 1 Studio production.

Find Virginie Girod in Madame Figaro on newsstands November 11 with an unpublished story.
