French language Saint-Simon's Memoirs are a rich treasure trove of observations and critiques. He turned his forensic eye on all of the major players at Versailles, providing occasionally fierce judgements on life behind the scenes at the palace. Les Memoires de Saint-Simon sont un riche tresor d'observations et de critiques. Il a tourne son regard medico-legal sur tous les acteurs majeurs de Versailles, fournissant parfois des jugements feroces sur la vie dans les coulisses du chateau. A la mort du roi en 1715, le duc d'Orleansen 1715, apres la mort de Louis XIV, son neveu Philippe d'Orleans (1674-1723) dirigea le pays comme regent jusqu'a ce que Louis XV atteigne l'age adulte... En savoir plus, un ami personnel de Saint-Simon, devenu regent du jeune Louis XV. Le temps etait venu pour l'ecrivain de mettre ses theories politiques en pratique. En septembre de la meme annee, il a ete nomme au Conseil de regence. Cependant, la mort du duc d'Orleans en 1723 mit fin a sa carriere politique et a sa position privilegiee a la cour. Saint-Simon choisit de se retirer dans son chateau de La Ferte-Vidame, a trente milles de Chartres. En 1749, il a finalement termine ses memoires, couvrant la periode jusqu'a la mort du regent en 1723. Saint-Simon est decede le 2 mars 1755, dans sa maison parisienne de la rue de Grenelle. Ses Memoires ne furent pas publies dans leur integralite avant 1829, a l'initiative de ses descendants. Marcel Proust et Stendhal etaient de fervents lecteurs de Saint-Simon.
