Benoitte and Félicitée live in the pretty village of St-Sorlin-en-Bugey. They've donned their finest clothes to tell you about their lives, and especially to share their thoughts on the town's history and the status of women in the 18th century, during the reign of Louis XV.

The thread of the history of the place will be unraveled by these two chatterers who will recount these moments of life, sometimes fragile, sometimes legendary. An experience that illuminates, by torchlight, a beginning of a century full of twists and turns and difficulties.

After telling you about their lives as inhabitants at the dawn of a revolutionary century, the two gossips will reward you with a small glass full of sisterhood and sharing, under the starry sky of a summer night.
