Walking Tour: Le Marais in the French Revolution

The events of the French revolution were chaotic, historic, and truly extraordinary. Your tour begins with an introduction of pre-revolution France and the economic and political landscape that led to a great class clash between the clergy, the nobility, and the bourgeoisie. Discover the fall of Louis XVI, learn about France's abolition of feudalism, and the subsequent stream of power conflicts that made France's history so bloody.
Discover one of Paris's most charming squares, the Place des Vosges, a luxurious mansion transformed into a prison during the Terror. You'll hunt for hidden historical vestiges, such as a cannonball stuck in a building dating back to the Middle-Age and remnants of Republican graffiti inside a church.
Whether you're new to French history or have been studying this notable period of the country, your expert guide will tailor the tour for you to see the impact of the revolution on Paris and the modern world.
