Bastille Day. La Marseillaise echoing through the boulevards. Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité etched into city walls. The Revolution is everywhere—etched into the very stones of Paris. It was a movement that didn’t just transform France—it gave rise to democracy, inspired global movements, and turned Paris into a city not just of beauty and grandeur, but of rebellion, ideas, and reinvention.
Highlights include:
- Palais Royal, where Camille Desmoulins ignited the spark that would storm the Bastille.
Tuileries Palace, once a royal residence, later consumed by revolutionary fire. - Place Vendôme, where elegance met the fury of the Paris Commune.
- Robespierre’s house, and the shadows of the Reign of Terror.
- La Madeleine, Napoleon’s tribute to power turned into a sacred site.
- Place de la Concorde, where kings and queens lost their heads.
- Assemblée Nationale, heart of today's French Republic.
Join us to uncover the revolutionary spirit that still pulses through Paris—the resilience, rebellion, and reinvention that made the City of Light burn bright with change.
