Part 5/6:
Fast forward to King Louis XV, who famously made a hasty retreat during the French Revolution. Ironically, this endeavor was interrupted by a desire for brie while stopping at an inn. This curious detour ultimately led to his family's arrest and subsequent return to Paris.
Remarkably, on the day of his execution in 1793, King Louis requested a final taste of Brie de Meaux, encapsulating the enduring connection of royalty and this creamy delight.
