Capture6In this new book by Ariane D., the heroine, a Parisian fashionista in her thirties, finds herself catapulted back to 1523, in the court of François Ier. Combining the clumsiness of a Bridget Jones with the self-sufficiency of an OSS 117, her arrival among her Renaissance forebears is explosive!

In dirty Paris, she attends the burning of a heretic, is attacked by beggars, tries to free a recluse who is walled up alive… At court, between hunting parties and parties fines, she flirts with the man she calls her “beautiful hipster” François I er.

Thanks to her friend Diane de Poitiers, she becomes a court stylist, but soon finds herself dragged into one of the greatest treacheries in French history by the shadowy Duc de Bourbon.

This novel is the first in a series that combines historical adventure and humor, in a text where old French rubs shoulders with ultra-modern language, and where the historical context, entirely true, is illustrated with historical-fashion photos.

“Pétage de Plombs chez François Ier” is a book written by Ariane D., a fashionista who worked in fashion for ten years and tried to create a unique combination of fashion, luxury and history. Was it a success? You be the judge.

Price: 17.95 euros
