The Conciergerie, a former royal palace, became a grim prison during the French Revolution. Its most famous prisoner was Marie Antoinette, who spent her last days here before facing the guillotine.
The Place de la Concorde, famous for its obelisk, has a dark past. During the French Revolution, it was known as Place de la Révolution, the site of the infamous guillotine where thousands were executed.
The French Revolution wasn't just political; it transformed dining. As aristocratic households fell, their chefs opened the first public restaurants, making fine dining accessible to all, not just the elite.
Maximilien Robespierre was a leading figure of the French Revolution and the architect of the Reign of Terror. His radical ideals shaped the revolution, but ultimately led to his own execution by guillotine.
