Amidst the fashionable world of 18th century Paris, Jean Baptiste Jules Bernadotte, future King of Sweden and Norway, poses regally for his portrait by Joseph Nicolas Jouy. Meanwhile, in modern times, a train derailment in Jouy-en-Josas near Versailles disrupts the serene landscape, a stark contrast to the elegance of La Marchande des Modes and Talma's portrayal of Regulus in Sylla by Jouy at the Theatre. As we journey through history, we find Auguste Lepašire's watercolor depiction of Rue de Jouy le Comte, a tranquil scene far removed from the chaos of the train accident. Yet, even in the quaint village of Jouy-le-Chatel, the shadow of war looms large with the ominous Rue l'Eglise and the haunting memories of WWI's Battle of Beausejour in Jouy.
