Le fameux chevalier Gaspard de Besse : ses dernières aventures

Fresh from a stint behind bars, the legendary Gaspard de Besse paces his cell, replaying his daring exploits and dreaming of fresh horizons. A tender vision of Saint Roseline arrives through a modest hermit, offering protection and a hint that redemption may be within reach. Meanwhile, the erudite Dom Pablo debates the triumph of spirit over muscle, setting a philosophic backdrop for Gaspard’s next moves.

Beyond the stone walls, Lizerolles opens her grand château to the wandering knight, providing an unlikely classroom in politics and etiquette. A chance encounter with the flamboyant Mlle Clairon of the Comédie‑Française adds a splash of theatrical intrigue, while whispers of a daring escape begin to stir. Listeners can expect swash‑buckling wit, vivid early‑19th‑century scenery, and a protagonist who balances roguish charm with a surprisingly earnest quest for purpose.
