Les nouvelles leçons d'amour dans un parc (New Lessons of Love in a Park) is the 1924 follow-up to René Boylesve’s 1902 La leçon d'amour dans un parc (The Love Lesson in the Park), presented as a set of four texts telling the story of Jacquette as she becomes a young woman.

In Alcindor, Jacquette has boundless veneration for a poet from Saumur, whom she only knows through his work. Her family tries to introduce her to young men her age, but she does not see them, driven by her literary passion. However, she manages to convince Monsieur de Fontcombes, who is also a poetry lover, to read Alcindor. The unknown poet becomes a reason for complicity between the two young people, a complicity that turns into love and results in Jacquette’s upcoming marriage.

L’ordonnance du docteur Couloubre (The Orders of Doctor Couloubre) sees Jacquette, a young bride, forced by this doctor to curb her marital appetites in order to protect her husband’s health, but this period of abstinence that she imposes on her husband worries her even in her dreams – what if de Fontcombes cheated on her with Mlle de Quinconas, his former governess?

Ovid’s famous The Art of Loving is one of the books that Jacquette and her husband come across in the library of M de Chemillé, Jacquette's godfather, where they have come to relieve their boredom. They have just spent the whole afternoon alone in the library and haven’t been bored for a single moment, even though they have not read a single page.

In the fourth section, Le mariage de Pomme-d’Api, Baron de Chemillé organises the wedding of Pomme-d’Api, his goddaughter’s doll when she was a child. During three days of celebrations at the castle no one thinks about the doll or notices the absence of M de Chemillé. He later tells Jacquette that along with a company of dolls and puppets he attended Pomme-d’Api’s wedding, and that instead of marrying the Pierrot who was destined for her, she spent the night with a Turk after convincing several of her suitors to throw themselves from the top of a tower. Jacquette then understands that her godfather has delivered an important moral tale about the importance of being free to choose the one you love.

The book concludes with two short chapters to tie up loose ends and leave everyone happy, La revanche d’Alcindor (Alcindor’s Redress), and Le dernier mot d’amour (The Last Word on Love).

René Lelong’s detailed and beautifully composed illustrations follow exactly the style established in La leçon d'amour dans un parc, conjuring an eighteenth-century world of beautiful gardens inhabited by beautiful people.
