The first pages of this work, which can be defined as a "diary", present photographs, annotations, menus, letters, drawings and invitations to receptions... Photographs: of his friends, Yves Refoulé in uniform, military maneuvers, portraits of horsemen, fashion and social appointments at horse races, the pleasures of vacations at the sea in Normandy, mid-Lent where everyone dresses up, all the pleasures of life in these times ... You will also find some of his correspondence where we discover the burning love of Yves Refoulé for women. A passion so devouring for the female gender that he gathered by photographs, accompanied by handwritten notes, his conquests, his flirtations as well as portraits of the most beautiful women of his time: courtesans, demi-mondaines and actresses of the Parisian night world.
