Louis II of Bavaria, the mad king:
Who was Louis II of Bavaria? A mad king, locked in his daydreams and his obsessive imagination? a lover of the arts who wanted to mark his reign with an unforgettable imprint with fabulous castles? The tragic fate of Empress Sisi’s cousin, whom he considered his soul mate, has fueled many questions from historians. His death is as mysterious as his life. Let’s set off again to discover the tragic fate of this king who will never be forgotten, after having seen his Neuschwanstein castle.
Personal note : to have attended several conferences in the recent past, I strongly invite you to come and join us for a real moment of pleasure. Laurent Mauras as a real teacher will captivate you and keep you going for an hour that we see go by too quickly. The reception of the three municipalities is also up to the evening.
