Vacation rentals in Île-de-France

Let's travel back in time to the year 1789, when France put an end to a Monarchy that had ruled for centuries… Did Marie-Antoinette really say « let them eat cake » and was Louis XVI a bad King? Why did the National Assembly that had just proclaimed the « Rights of Men » turn into a dictatorial government? Through pictures of France then and now on a slide show, we'll walk in the footsteps of the key figures such as Voltaire, Lafayette, Robespierre, Dr. Guillotin and more. We will discuss the turning points leading up to the Revolution and ultimately the demise of Louis XVI & Marie-Antoinette. You will see on a map of Paris where each event took place so you can visit them on your next trip :-) You will see exactly where the King, the Queen and many other high profile figures were executed with the Guillotine. You will understand why France went to war with the rest of Europe and relive the decisive events leading a young general to power: Napoleon! This experience is adapted for anyone who has no or little knowledge of the revolution, as well as those familiar with it and wish to explore it further. All questions are welcome :) **FEE IS PER PERSON** LANGUAGE: English LENGTH: Approx. 75 min based on Q&A. ANY QUESTIONS? Feel free to contact me :) MY OTHER ONLINE EXPERIENCES: Lafayette - Hero of two worlds; Rise of Napoleon; Fathers of the American Revolution in Par

I will show you maps and pictures, develop the main key facts for those regions, I will explain how to read labels,.... and I will answer to all your questions! In fact the only I won't share with you, is a glass of my wine selection, but you can come with your own French wine and we can talk about it. The wine class will be live on Zoom. You just choose your date and time, and after booking, You will receive a link to connect for the class.… Once you you will book you will receive a list of French wines that you could find locally and taste with me during the class.
