Note 242 — VII PORTRAITS
Reading edition
The meeting between Chevreuse and Fénelon at Chaulnes, where the Duke had a château, took place in November, 1711. As the result of their long political conversations Fénelon drew up a document entitled Plans de gouvernement concertés avec le Duc de Chevreuse pour être proposés au Duc de Bourgogne. It consisted of mere heads of chapters arranged under seven sections which Fénelon called tables. Hence the name, Tables de Chaulnes, which the document usually bears.
