What Dominique Pagani says
Dominique Pagani mainly discusses Henri IV through Nerval's Angélique. He takes from it the peasant legend in which the king, jealous of Rousseau over Gabrielle d'Estrées, had him put to death. Nerval thinks the legend may be truer than people believe, and he makes Henri IV the founder of the monarchical edifice that Rousseau brought to ruin12. In this love triangle, Henri IV holds the place of the sovereign, the summit of power. Pagani links him with the phrase "Paris is well worth a mass": the king knew that enjoyment was what was at stake, and until then he alone dared to show this taste34. The "chicken in every pot" serves him as an early landmark in the history of the idea of happiness5. He also notes the places connected with the king in Nerval's Valois: Chaalis, which sheltered his love affair with Gabrielle, Senlis and Ermenonville. He also mentions the pointe du Vert-Galant, where the "vert" is linked to verdeur, vigour6. Finally, he places the king's death in 1610 at the real beginning of the seventeenth century.
