When: 1700’s
Where: France
What’s So Special about Their Love: Voltaire was a brilliant playwright and author who was beloved by French royal society, and Emilie was a young, intelligent socialite.

These two were not only attracted to each other physically, but even more so attracted to each other’s superior intellect.
