To what extent is French law broken by salons?

During the Enlightenment, does anyone know why salons were against French law? Help me!To what extent is French law broken by salons?
Enlightenment salons brought forth a new element of ';seriousness and regularity'; to the salon as they formed the social base of the Republic of Letters and thus contributed to the social project of the Enlightenment.





However, between the salons of the time of Louis XV and that of the time of Louis XVI, is the difference between the two reigns. The salon of the time of Louis XV seemed to open onto the present, the salon of the time of Louis XVI opens out onto the future. Its walls, its architecture are saddened like the court and like society, by reform, seriousness, rigidity.
