Excerpt from The Little King: A Story of the Childhood of Louis XIV, King of France
Every day - Christmas included - the King had a few hours of rest after dinner. Usually this lax time was devoted to a nap in his private bedroom adjoining the boudoir of his nurse, the Sweet Mam'selle, a name the King had given her and by which she was known throughout the court.
Frequently on pleasant days, after his nap, the King went with his nurse to walk in the little hedged garden beneath his window, set apart in the beautiful court of the Palais Royal for the King's exclusive use.
