Louise Cochelet

In addition to being an artist, Louise Cochelet was a Lady-in-Waiting, lectrice (reader), and confidant to Queen Hortense of Holland. Cochelet’s four-volume Mémoirs sur la Reine Hortense et la famille impériale detail the queen’s years of exile in Switzerland. In 1817, Cochelet bought Sandegg Castle; after her marriage to Denis-Charles Parquin (1786–1845), an officer in the entourage of the young Prince Louis-Napoleon, Hortense’s son and the future Emperor Napoleon III, they lived at Wolfsberg Castle in nearby Ermatingen. Sandegg served as a refuge for members of the Bonaparte family, and Wolfsberg became the center of a lively social circle connected with the exiled court. (JGK)
