Les Caquets de l'accouchée is an anonymous French satire composed of several quires published in 1622. They were reunited in 1623 under the title « Recueil général des Caquets de l'Accouchée ». The title refers to the custom, documented by the middle of the fifteenth, of Parisian bourgeoises to visit when one of them is layered. The narrator introduces himself as a convalescing Parisian to whom a doctor has prescribed to recuperate through entertainment and goes rue Quincampoix to listen to gossip with her cousin who has just given birth.
