The story unfolds in 1634 Paris, a city depicted as dark, damp, and filled with a mix of noblemen, commoners, and rogues. The narrative centers on Léodgard de Marvejols, a young nobleman embroiled in gambling and questionable escapades. He navigates the various social strata and intrigues of the time, revealing the character of a man caught between refinement and rowdy adventure. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the gloomy streets of Paris where Léodgard, described as handsome yet troubled, reflects on his fortunes and misfortunes. Having just experienced a night of gambling, he encounters Giovanni, an infamous Italian robber, and through their exchange, we witness Léodgard's arrogance and desire for thrill. Following this confrontation, the story shifts to the bathhouses of the city, which serve as social meeting points for various characters, including the engaging bath keepers and their daughters, Ambroisine and Bathilde. The societal dynamics of the time are established, featuring humor, romance, and the allure of Paris’s nightlife, setting the stage for the characters' intertwined fates.
