You’ll start your journey with an overview of France before the revolution, focusing on the economic and political conditions that led to a major conflict among the clergy, nobility, and the middle class. Gain knowledge about Louis XVI’s downfall and the overthrow of the Ancien Régime, delve into the remnants of the Bastille siege, and learn about France’s termination of feudalism and the ensuing power struggles that contributed to a tumultuous period in French history.

As you progress, you will stumble upon the Place des Vosges, one of Paris’s most delightful plazas, a luxurious mansion that became a jail during the Reign of Terror, and the neighbourhood favoured by the Jewish community, due to the religious liberty permitted by the Republican convention.

Assisted by your expert tour guide, you will be on the lookout for historic treasures hidden in plain sight, like a medieval cannonball trapped in a building’s wall and traces of Republican graffiti within a church.
