Everyone knows about Marie Antoinette's tragic end, but few know the mystery surrounding her one true love: the Swedish Count Axel von Fersen.
In the private rooms of Versailles, the two shared a love so powerful and forbidden that, after the Queen's death, Fersen destroyed or censored many of their love letters. ✉️🔥 But he wasn't just a lover: he was the one who organized the royal family's desperate escape to Belgium. They traveled 250 km, but just 50 km from safety, in Varennes, an absurd detail ruined everything: the King was recognized by his unmistakable profile, likely thanks to a simple coin!
Discover the behind-the-scenes story of this historical thriller of secrets, spies, and impossible loves.
