Description: The Louvre, 1655. Catherine Beauvais, known as One-Eyed Cateau, exposes her striking ugliness through the corridors of the most beautiful palace in the world. Her presence is as disturbing as the trust that Anne of Austria places in her. The queen is a glutton who gorges herself daily on sausages, chops and boiled bread, and One-Eyed, thanks to her unique knowledge of plants and natural remedies for the stomach, looks after her well-being. But between the stucco, velvet curtains, oak floors, chandeliers and extravagant decorations, her proximity to the queen will attract all kinds of vileness. While the courtiers wonder how such horror has penetrated the royal palace, his knowledge and the talent he demonstrates in using it will become indispensable and he will even gain the trust of the one who holds supreme power: the young Sun King.
