L'Église de Saint Hubert | France 1750
Photo taken at Saint Hubert 1750
In the shadow of the golden halls of Versailles, far from the pomp of courtly life, lies Saint Hubert – a secluded hunting lodge, several hours west of the royal residence, deep within the king’s forests. Here, where the splendor of civilization ends, begin intrigues, hunts – and other, darker games.
It is the year 1750, under the reign of Louis XV, a king whose power is as solid as it is fragile. Life at court is one of splendor – and silence about what takes place in the shadows.
