RAMBOUILLET, CATHERINE DE VIVONNE, MARQUISE DE [Rambouillet, Catherine de Vivonne, marquise de], 1588-1665, famous Frenchwoman, whose salon exercised a profound influence on French literature.
The conversation and literary criticism of the Hôtel de Rambouillet, as her house was called, aimed solely at refinement and good taste, although the marquise liked to indulge in practical jokes on her guests.
The oldest daughter of the marquise de Rambouillet was Julie d'Angennes (later duchesse de Montausier), to whom the members of the circle addressed the cycle of verses Guirlande à Julie.
