Being a student of cultural history, my favorite must be "Les Dieux ont Soif" by Anatole France. It is not a good book, and the characters are quite stereotypical, but it's pretty much only one that has lots of details about the art and fashion of the period. Even the part when the fanatical revolutionary painter explains lenghtly why he hates rococo furniture so much is enough for me to love reading this book...
