FAIRY TALES IN FRANCE IN THE 17th, 18th CENTURY & MADAME D'AULNOY

[@gaslitworldf.melissab2897]

You are a brilliant storyteller and illustrator. I had to watch this twice, back to back. You're as talented as the people you feature in these vignettes.

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you sweet Melissa for all your kind compliments ! I'm happy if you enjoyed it enough to watch it several times, your words pay me for the hours and days working on it ! :)

[@sofiasofia-em]

This was amazingly well done. It showed up in my KZbin recommended, and let me tell you I was SHOCKED, when I noticed it only had 400 views

She’s our hidden little secret 🥰

[@davidjohnston9356]

I don't understand that either. These videos are a breath of fresh air in this crazy world right now.

[@Merveillesenpapier]

You are most welcome Regina! I'm very glad if you liked it, the thing is trying to be discovered on you tube is much more challenging than people think if you don't want to follow the trends, from time to time bridges are made and help persons like you to join my Kingdom and I'm very grateful for that :)

You’re so brilliant! The end was perfection with that guillotine! Haha ❤️👀💀

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you I'm happy you liked my guillotine !! I enjoyed doing it ! :)))

[@amandajephson9964]

Your best video yet! Absolutely superb. ❤🧡💜 Madam d'Aulnoy would be so happy you are reverently honouring her Fairy Tales. Thank you so much for your beautiful inspirations and I am so happy to see the flower bouquet and shells!

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you ! Do you think ?Maybe :)) Very happy if you liked it and for your kind compliment♥ , yes everything is fully used and appreciated ( I already had some questions about them from visitors) , and I have started the book ;)

[@amandajephson9964]

@@Merveillesenpapier I meant to tell you the white flowers with the blush of pink in the bouquet are called "Blushing Bride" ( Serruria florida ) and the shells are called Giant Periwinkle. You hardly get these periwinkle shells this size anymore as they are very slow growing and are over fished. These are very old from our farm, probably 100 years old. The flowers also grow on our mountain wild.

[@Vintage4love_studio]

you are a real artist and so beautifully made! Chapeau 👩‍🎨👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you Gea for your kind words ♥♥

[@lianapalumbo8457]

Watching and listening to you Laetitia is exactly like hearing a fearie tale. The history that I'm learning about France is also so fascinating. My great grandparents were French so I feel like I should know about this out of respect for them. Thank you 😊 xx

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you very much Liana, for your sweet words! yes it's no doubt a good and respectful way to honour them .

[@jenfries6417]

Thank you for this video! I love fairy tales from all over the world and all cultures, but while I've known many of the French tales, I never really knew about the history of fairy tales in France. I learned from you today.

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you Jen glad if the video helped a bit ! :)

[@sherryluvsmermaids5503]

This made my day. Epic storyteller you are! Bringing life back to centuries old fairytales. I too have collected old fairytales for years. I also collect old children’s books. One day I hope you will have a child to share your magic with.

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you Sherry oh you are very sweet !Thank you for your kind words!

[@helenhoelck5825]

Those books are both beautiful and amazing like their content! Very entertaining! Perfect mood for such stories!

You have an exceptional gift. Thank you for all you give us. I think you are talented enough to create and write your own fairy tale. Merci beaucoup. J’attends toujours ta prochaine vidéo avec impatience.

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you Echo ! You are very kind ! Who knows what's coming... ;) mais vous parlez français alors je vous remercie bien chaleureusement !Merci de votre passage par ici !

[@davidjohnston9356]

magnifique🌿. My favorite subject. Old books and fairy tales. I want to find a beautiful treasure chest like yours, filled with imagination. I just received from Britain a book from 1875 called Tales from Shakespeare. Written 1830 for children. They send by mistake the wrong copy. How fortunate. It is older and even more beautiful. The one I ordered from 1890 was sent also to the wrong house. The shop owner was very happy, that I was not upset, and gave me a 50% refund which I did not ask for. ☘ Always such a pleasure to have a glimpse into your magic kingdom. 🍃 Have a beautiful week. Sabine

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Merci Sabine , that's really nice, I love when these sort of mistakes happen! Double satisfaction for you ! It's for sure a good adress to keep , you are very sweet a happy sunday to you !

[@amandareynolds3108]

I always learn something new from your videos! You make art and history come to life! ✨⭐️✨⭐️

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you Amanda :) ! That 's what I try to do, it if it works I'm very happy !

[@rozanidesignsmasquerade7050]

Wow❣️Fabulous video presentation. How very interesting to learn about the origins of these fairytales and the aristocracy. Especially, during the best of times and the worst of times in France. Thank you for enlightening us with your artistry and wonderfully woven words. 💖👍

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you Rozani yes I found it very interesting how the history of the fairy tale and its evolution is totally intertwined with the history of the country; You are very welcome Rozani, happy if you appreciated it !

[@rozanidesignsmasquerade7050]

[@roksannastephens4375]

Very interesting, ty so much for this treasure of fairy tales. It is sad washed away by centuries, but you help keep them alive.. Your books and videos are ever so are beautiful as always.

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you Roksanna, yes unfortunately I don't think a lot of people read them these days also because they are not easy to find, I will for sure do my best to keep them alive, the more I explore them the more I love them and want to share their beauty.

[@roksannastephens4375]

[@Julathegreat]

I would love to listen to videos of you telling some of these tales from the book. As an anglophone, I have no way of being able to engage with these tales, which is a shame, because they sound phenomenal

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you but actually quite many are translated Madame d'Aulnoy's are entirely translated and even available for free on Wikisoure c or Project Gutenberg or printed, Mademoiselle de la Force has a fairy tales which are translated too and available in english too .

[@karenmusa3052]

Oh why am I not surprised that the first of the fairy tales was written by a woman. 💜💙💜💙

[@Merveillesenpapier]

I know the more I study the women writers and artists of the 17th and 18 th century , and read their writings , the less I can understand why they are so forgotten , you really think they were doing nothing even the aristocrats with a lot of leisure time, they were very active and had very good ideas, some were very prolific, it might be the topic of another video later !!

[@EnvironmentalArtist]

I would love you to read the fairy tales by Mme d’Aulnoy in French

[@Merveillesenpapier]

I could do that but I don't think a lot of people would understand and appreciate it . .. but on this topic there will be nice supises coming , I have many videos abotu Madame d'aulnoy and fairy tales coming in march and april, you might enjoy them !
