Definition

A brief thought from the Duchess of Crestignac, expressed with apparent lightness yet inviting the reader to see the world from an unexpected angle.

A duchetinne seeks neither to demonstrate nor to persuade. It gently shifts one's perspective and leaves the reader free to morderinouiller.

“I never get bored, since I'm constantly travelling around the Sun.”

“Above all, the Crestignacian knows that something tastes best… when one eats it oneself.”
