About the Book

" L'affaire du collier de la reine est une escroquerie qui a pour victime en 1785 le cardinal de Rohan, évêque de Strasbourg, éclaboussant la réputation de la reine de France Marie-Antoinette, épouse de Louis XVI. Pour regagner les faveurs de Marie-Antoinette, le cardinal de Rohan entreprend d'offrir à la reine un somptueux collier. Une pseudo-comtesse de La Motte, escroc se prétendant amie de la souveraine, promet au cardinal son retour en grâce. Elle organise pour cela, le 11 août 1784, une rencontre nocturne dans le bosquet de la Reine. La prétendue Marie-Antoinette réconforte le cardinal sur sa situation. Rohan est aux anges ! Depuis plusieurs années, les joailliers de la Couronne, Böhmer et Bassenge, cherchent à vendre un somptueux collier de près de 650 diamants, pesant 2 800 carats. Ils l'ont proposé à Louis XVI en 1782, mais la reine l'a refusé. Son prix est en effet astronomique malgré une baisse à 1,6 million de livres ! Mme de La Motte en parle au cardinal, lequel accepte de servir de prête-nom pour la souveraine, moyennant un échelonnement du paiement en quatre versements sur deux ans. Les bijoutiers sont ravis de trouver enfin acquéreur. Ils remettent le collier au cardinal le 1er février 1785, lequel le donne à Mme de La Motte, qui disparaît aussitôt avec ses complices. Un scandale d'État commence.."
