Justine goes to the ball, France 1863
Listen now
Description
Justine takes us by the hand and leads us to the Centre-West of France in 1863. More precisely, to the Aurillac ball, a vibrant dancing performance on which the curtains of our story open. But no ball is complete without a preceding beauty ritual. After a long day on the farm, Justine walks hastily back to the house and invites us to plunge headlong into the intimacy of rural grooming in the 19th century. A number of customs are thus revealed to us: hierarchical baths, the bar of Marseille soap and, lastly, the obvious importance of face and hand care. L'Officine Universelle Buly tells you all about these beauty rituals, handed down from generation to generation. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
