Louise de la Vallière fut l'une des favorites de Louis XIV avant d'entrer dans les ordres. Jules Auguste Lair retrace ici le parcours de cette jeune femme, depuis son entrée à la cour jusqu'à son départ pour le couvent. Il s'appuie sur des sources inédites, comme les lettres qu'elle échangea avec le maréchal de Bellefonds. Un portrait émouvant et captivant.
