This book is particularly interesting for eighteenth-century specialists since it corresponds to the first publication, since 1837 of a work falsely attributed to Laure Permon's husband, Napoleon Junot: it relates Madame d'Abrantes's memories of Mme Geoffrin's salon and of the famous Lumieres: Marivaux, Chastellux, l'abbe Morellet, Saint-Lambert, Paradis de Montcriff, Helvetius, Creutz Galiani, Caraccioli, Panard, Galet, Raynal, Diderot,
