Does anyone have insights/thoughts on why French would be amc!louis’s first language like he seems to imply when he calls it his “mother tongue”?

Marseille en août.

Depuis peu, le Fort Saint-Nicolas, bâti sur les modèles de Vauban (mais pas par lui-même) est ouvert aux visites. J'en ai donc profité....

D'autant que le panorama est superbe : sur le Vieux-Port évidemment (il faut rappeler que ce fort avait des canons non pas dirigés vers l'extérieur pour protéger la ville...mais vers celle-ci, jugée trop frondeuse par Louis XIV !), sur la Canebière (photo 1), sur l'Abbaye Saint-Victor (photo 5), Notre-Dame de la Garde (photo 6), sur le bas du fort (encore inaccessible au quotidien) et, de l'autre côté du port, sur le Fort Saint-Jean.

La glycine

Louis Vibauver

Souple comme une liane

Elle grimpe, vivace

Et sensuelle femme

Aux pergolas s'enlace.

Elle épouse amoureuse

Chacun de ses tuteurs

Et bien voluptueuse

Se tord aux chaudes heures.

À mes yeux, dans mon cœur

Elle fait le printemps

Quand je la vois en fleurs

Avec ravissement.

Avenante d'accueil

Elle s'offre et m'héberge

Vêtue de simples feuilles

Comme la vigne vierge.

Je la vois s'étaler

Juste au dessus de moi

Et ne peux qu'apprécier

Son ombre avec émoi.

A mes yeux, dans mon cœur

Elle fait le printemps

Quand je la vois en fleurs

Avec ravissement.

C'est une couturière

Qui tout' pareille au lierre

Recouvre les tonnelles

D'un habit de dentelles.

Nature généreuse

Cette belle chartreuse

Me rend le plus heureux

A voir la vie en bleu.

A mes yeux, dans mon cœur

Elle fait le printemps

Quand je la vois en fleurs

Avec ravissement.

Elle tresse aux gouttières

Des colliers de guirlandes

Et comme des rivières

Ses grappes les descendent.

Elles pleuvent de fleurs

Qui ruissellent et cascadent

Et qui de leurs couleurs

Pavoisent aux façades.

A mes yeux, la glycine

Fait toujours le printemps

Car c'est elle, divine,

Qui me ravit autant.

Et Monet, je devine

S'est pamé tout autant.

Richelieu- Background and social outlook

Armand-Jean du Plessis de Richelieu's family background and personal career made him familiar with all three estates of the realm plus the royal court and government. His father, François, had risen from the lesser nobility of Poitou to become grand provost at the Valois court. The elder Richelieu was in charge of maintaining order and provisions within the king's personal retinue and was ranked just below the great officers of the king's household (which included the masters of the stable, hunt, wardrobe, and king's chamber). François died serving as a captain of the guards for Henry IV when Armand, born in 1585, was not yet five.

Armand's eldest brother, Henri, was well positioned as a courtiersoldier during Louis XIII's minority; a second brother, Alphonse, decided on the monastic life. Armand was groomed by Louis XIII's riding master, Pluvinel, to be a courtier-soldier, but he was also inclined to theological studies. In 1607, Richelieu embarked on an ecclesiastical career when he assumed the family's recently acquired ecclesiastical post at Luçon. Bishop of a poor diocese, almoner to Queen Anne, and finally a cardinal and holder of several benefices, he was as committed a cleric as he was instinctively a gentilhomme.

Through his mother, Suzanne de La Porte, Richelieu had another rich inheritance. Her Poitevin grandfather had been a tax agent for a local prince, her father a celebrated parlementary lawyer who helped frame the great sixteenth-century ordinances of royal laws. The La Portes were as successful members of the robe nobility as the Richelieus were typical nobles of the sword. The Richelieu who served Louis XIII was a unique exemplar of the values of the three estates. As a cleric, he blended Catholic reformationist zeal and reverence for the Papacy with an appreciation of the autonomy of the French monarchy. He had come to court as a friend of such religious devots as Pierre Bérulle, who founded the second of his famous Oratory seminaries at Luçon; however, bon Français leanings lay just beneath the surface. Unlike the devots, but like Louis XIII, Richelieu respected the Huguenots, while wanting to see them convert peacefully. As bishop of Luçon, he had written a polemic against Calvinism, fought off an attempt by local Huguenots to build a temple adjacent to his cathedral, and fretted about the Protestant state within the state, whose greatest seaboard town of La Rochelle lay just down the road.

Richelieu came to the court with some of the style of a Second Estate noble. He married his relatives into great families like the Condés. He pursued personal wealth. He even used public funds for private interests. Yet he saw the nobility's greatness not in independent lawless acts, but in service to the monarch. He earned the title of duke and peer in that service. And he joined his king in condemning noble violence, horrified by an uncle's dueling death, his father's killing of the offender in a second duel, and his brother Henri's demise in a duel over the spoils of the first War of the Mother and Son.

When it came to the ways of the Third Estate, this descendant of jurists was a curious blend of royal reformer and pragmatist. Like his royal master, he was opposed on principle to venal officeholding and judicial obstruction of state laws; yet he knew how crucial parlementary loyalty was to establishing a climate of submissiveness, by subjects both high and low. Louis had a habit of lecturing judges for interfering with affairs of what he called "my state"; Richelieu saw the need to bring the judgmental ruler around to a compromise that advanced the cause of that state.

Differences in their social outlook were less significant than shared attitudes. Had it been otherwise, Richelieu would have quickly suffered the fate of Louis's previous advisors. The self-effacing monarch who was comfortable in the dress of a simple soldier could tolerate ostentatious tastes only in a cardinal who liked to lead his armies. The frugal king who talked benevolently of "my poor people" could understand the duke and peer who thought of the poor as beasts of burden, at their best when working hard.
