Macquart branch

born Lisa Macquart

Lisa Quenu

Charcutière

Antoine Macquart's eldest daughter. Respectable, prosperous, and satisfied with herself and her shop, she and her husband Quenu run a thriving charcuterie in Les Halles. She represents the well-fed complacency and moral conformism of the Second Empire bourgeoisie — ultimately she betrays her own brother-in-law Florent to preserve her comfort.
Plump, white-skinned, magnificent in her way — a Rubens-esque figure of comfortable prosperity, always immaculate behind her marble counter.
