Summary "La société bordelaise sous Louis XV et le salon de Mme Duplessy" by Grellet-Dumazeau is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work explores the vibrant social and intellectual life of Bordeaux during the reign of Louis XV, concentrating particularly on the influential salon hosted by Mme Duplessy. It examines key figures, events, and the cultural milieu of the time, revealing the importance of provincial society in the shadows of Parisian dominance. The opening of the book sets the stage for this exploration by discussing the disparities between Paris and provincial cities, particularly Bordeaux. It emphasizes how Bordeaux had its own rich literary and cultural traditions, with notable figures contributing to a lively intellectual discourse. It introduces Mme Duplessy as a central figure who, following her husband's death, transforms her salon into a hub for notable acquaintances, blending charm and intellect while nurturing the arts and sciences. The reader is invited to delve deeper into this compelling portrait of a lesser-known yet dynamic society, marked by passionate interactions among scholars, artists, and the aristocracy.
