Les enfants des Tuileries

A collection of linked episodes follows a group of children who spend their days in a city park and nearby countryside, contrasting urban fashions and amusements with rural simplicity. Through games, preparations, minor quarrels and reconciliations, the narrative observes vanity, curiosity, generosity and social differences as well as small acts of kindness and practical learning. Humorous incidents alternate with gentle moral reflections aimed at teaching humility, good manners and useful habits, and the episodic structure mixes lively domestic scenes with interactions between children of different social backgrounds.
