Les Libertins en campagne plunges us into a milieu populated by crooks, foreshadowing in its picturesqueness some of the darker pages of Manon Lescaut. It is also a moving account of the atrocities committed by Louis XIV's troops against the Protestants of the Vivarais region. (Frère II, 250; Gay II, 857.)
