Description
Court of Miracles is a human comedy of manners set in seventeenth-century France at the time of the Sun King Louis XIV. Two aristocrats, Antoine, Marquis de Valinquette and Guibert, Count de Mallac, fallen on hard times and in disgrace with the crown through the sins of their fathers, vie for the love of the most scintillating salonnière on the Parisian social circuit. Renowned for her wit and charm, Galatée, known as the Marquise, presides over the most sought-after salon in the fashionable Marais district of Paris. As the rivalry of the two men reaches its climax, it bursts open the mystery behind the woman and leads to the shadow world of the Court of Miracles.
