Baron Alexandre de Sambucy Sorgue and his wife Baroness Anne-Cécile attended the christening of Princess Louise-Marguerite d'Orléans. Here is a lovely photo of the family posing in the gardens of the Royal Domain in Dreux, France shortly after the christening. Baron Alexandre and Baroness Anne-Cécile have three children; Côme, who is six, Isoline, who is three (I'm unaware of the baby's name in the photo). They also had a daughter, Victoire, although she passed away shortly after her birth.

[MAfan]

Isoline is just one year old, not three; she was born on 27 July 2013. Instead Victoire is three year old (and still alive), being born on 21 May 2011. The other child in the picture is indeed Côme.

Ah OK, thanks for the corrections MAfan. I had got a little confused with the Google Translation as French isn't my native language and Google Translate isn't the best at all times. So that means that Isoline is the baby, Victoire is the little girl and Côme, of course, is their little brother. Do we know the name of their child who passed away?

Also, how would I go about pronouncing Côme? Due to the accent (?) on the O, I'm not sure how to pronounce it, but at the moment am pronouncing it like the word cone but with an M.

I do like Marie-Therese, the Duchess of Angouleme.
Imagine how difficult it was for the only surviving child of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette to grow up to be a young lady.
Who knows what type of Queen Consort she would have been if her husband, Louis Antoine had reigned as King Louis XIX for several years?

It wasn't François I,it was his father,Charles d'Orléans,Comte de Angoulême who was reburied at the cathedral.The remains of Charles d'Orléans,Comte de Angoulême and his parents were rediscovered in 2011 which were presumed that they were destroyed during the Huguenot sack of the cathedral in 1563.

King François I was buried at St Denis outside Paris.

Ah OK, thanks for the correction An Ard Ri. My Google Translate isn't the best and I must have misread that it was François I's reburial, when it was actually his father's reburial. (It appears that I can't amend my post as it's older than two days.)

[An Ard Ri]

Its a miracle that all 3 remains survived both the Huguenots and the French Revolution,sadly the remains of King François I and his beloved mother,Louise were desecrated in October 1793.

Baron Axel de Sambucy de Sorgue and his family are going to reside in Marrakech, where their wedding took place last year. The couple have already opened up a tea room, "Charlotte's Desk", and Baron Axel has worked in a number of places abroad:

I was in Marrakech a few weeks ago and I liked it a lot. There's an American school there, so I wonder if that's where their children will attend. But French is one of the official languages of Morocco and all schools have to learn it (as well as Moroccan Arabic and Berber), so they could most likely get by at a local Moroccan school as well.
