Marie Antoinette's Mother Offers Tips on How to Behave in Public




"In France people behave in a very edifying way in church and generally in public... Stay on your knees as long as you can; that will be the best position to set an example. Do not allow yourself any grimaces which only look hypocritical: that is a reproach to be avoided above all else in that country."

MARIA THERESA, 21 APRIL 1770
