“Qu'ils mangent de la brioche. Let them eat cake. On being told that her people had no bread. Attributed to Marie-Antoinette, but remark is much older. Rousseau refers in his Confessions, 1740, to a similar remark, as a well-known saying. Others attribute the remark to the wife of Louis XIV.” PeopleWellsKnownWifeBreadCakeAttributesConfessionWell KnownRemarksMarie Author:Marie Antoinette
