‘The sweetness of her glance—or rather, my evil star already in its ascendant and drawing me to my ruin—did not allow me to hesitate for a moment...’ So begins the story of Manon Lescaut, a tale of passion and betrayal, of delinquency and misalliance, which moves from early 18th-century Paris—with its theatres, assemblies, and gaming-houses—via prison and deportation to a tragic denouement in the treeless wastes of Louisiana. It is one of the great love stories, and also one of the most enigmatic.

Manon Lescaut est bien plus qu'une simple histoire d'amour passionné ; c'est une plongée profonde dans la psychologie de deux êtres aux prises avec leurs démons intérieurs. Le chevalier des Grieux, jeune homme idéaliste et romantique, est aveuglé par son amour pour Manon, une femme complexe et énigmatique. Leur relation, aussi intense que destructrice, révèle la fragilité de l'âme humaine face aux passions dévorantes.

L'action se déroule sous la Régence, période aux mœurs débridées succédant à l'austère fin de règne de Louis XIV. Le jeune chevalier des Grieux rencontre une belle adolescente : Manon Lescaut. Une passion irraisonnée naît entre ces deux très jeunes gens. Leur inconséquence et leur candide immoralité vont projeter le couple dans des aventures qui aboutiront à leur déchéance. Eduqué pour un avenir honorable, des Grieux, par passion amoureuse, ne pourra résister aux penchants licencieux de Manon.
