| Summary | "Memoirs of the Court of Marie Antoinette, Queen of France, Volume 6" by Mme. Campan is a historical account written during the early 19th century. This volume recounts the unfolding events and intrigues surrounding Queen Marie Antoinette, particularly focusing on the lead-up to the royal family's attempt to escape Paris amidst the turbulent atmosphere of revolutionary France. With firsthand observations, the author provides insights into the personal lives, challenges, and tactical decisions faced by the royal family during this tumultuous time. The opening of the memoir discusses pivotal moments in the spring of 1791, beginning with King Louis XVI's frustration with their confinement at the Tuileries and his plans to return to St. Cloud, which were thwarted by a mutinous guard. As preparations for their departure intensify, Queen Marie Antoinette, despite risks, is determined to assemble a wardrobe and jewelry for their presumed escape to Brussels. Madame Campan, the Queen's first lady-in-waiting, is tasked with executing secret orders for this escape, highlighting both the urgency and underlying peril of their situation. The narrative portrays the tension felt by Campan as she navigates the royal family's actions and the threats posed by the increasingly watchful revolutionary populace.
