Samedi,09.May.2015 [ Note de Voyage PARIS ]

Take a tour of Revolutionary Paris, the home of the last queen of France, Marie Antoinette. Begin your tour at Versailles, a city within a palace, to witness the splendor of court life. Visit Tuileries Gardens where once stood the palace where the King and Queen were under house arrest. The Louvre used to hold the royal treasures, but became a museum during the Revolution. Eat at Café Procope, the oldest cafe in Paris, where the leaders Danton, Robespierre, and Marat met to discuss plans. You can eat at several establishments which serve Marie's favorite pastries, pistoles chocolates, and apple tea. Drive by and see the architecture, or visit the other sites which represent the more vivid parts of the revolutionary war that were inevitable, the change which was necessary to bring representation to all classes of people. Finish your tour by driving north to St. Denis Basilica, where the remains of King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette are interred. This map was inspired by Antonia Fraser's book, Marie Antoinette: The Journey.

<body>From Mary Pedley regarding the map date: Jean Boutier, Les plans de Paris, 2nd ed. 2007, no. 185, pp 224-225: suggests that addition of "Ier geogr[aphe] du roi" a title Delisle received in 1718 would put the date of this map, a second edition, at 1720. Boutier is the best source for Paris maps prior to 1800. Engraved map in outline color. Shows selected named buildings (some in perspective), gardens, fields. Includes "Table alphabetique des rues de la Ville et Faubr. de Paris." Scale in toises parisienes. </body>
