Is it true that French people don't take bath?
Yes, it's true.
I do not take bath.
I fear water that is full of miasma. When the serfs dried up the swamps that surrounded my castle, they died by hundreds of swamp fever.
I rub my royal body with towels impregnated with ointments or perfumes but no champagne as claimed by the gazettes, I do not smell bad, especially since I change very often of underwear.
Besides, what harm is there in having a bodily smell, it is a powerful aphrodisiac, my ancester Henry the fourth of the name smelled of sweat, leather, and garlic, and he was none the less a famous seducer.
