Synopsis
Excerpt from Le Long des Rues: Ouvrage Orné de 124 Illustrations Et de Plans Anciens Et Modernes
L'hôtel est intact où logeait ce serviteur passionné de la monarchie L'obligeante courtoisie de M. Hellmann, locataire actuel, veut bien nous ouvrir les portes de la maison. Ce n'est pas sans émotion que nous parcourons cette habitation rare où tout parlé du passé, depuis les salons, les chambres, les boudoirs en rotonde, encore fleuris de sculptures, jusqu'aux corri dors étroits, obscurs, surbaissés, qui rappellent étran gement certains coins mystérieux de Au dehors deux perrons de pierre conduisent à une longue allée dont les arbres mêlent leurs ramures aux branches des marronniers d'un grand parc voisin. C'est ici que M. De Fersen prépara l'évasion de cette Reine qu'il ado rait et dont il sentait la dignité, la liberté, la vie même menacées chaque jour davantage par la Révolution triomphante! Et ce nid gracieux condamné hélas' à disparaître dans peu de mois ce décor d'opera comique, abrita le prologue du drame dont le dernier acte devait se dérouler le 16 octobre 1793 sur la place sanglante de la Révolution!
