In France, the troubadour style gradually assumes some importance. These are the writings of Chateaubriand who first raise the taste for medieval times. Since 1805, the Empress Josephine had installed at Malmaison a gothic gallery but interest in the Middle Ages touch at that time a minority. After the Restoration and the instigation of the Duchess of Berry, the troubadour style acquires a wide audience especially among the royalists.
