“The French kings gave us Versailles” who is us?? Versailles was miles outside of Paris. They built their own private roads to avoid ever travelling through the cities because they were that uncomfortable with the filth and poverty on the streets. 😭 the Louvre was a public space for the people.

On this day in 1793, King Louis XVI was guillotined by French Revolutionaries. His final will and testament was extremely powerful as he recited his faith and love of country ⚜️

Public Service Announcement: Can someone please tell General Kleber that he will have infinitely fewer issues in the Vendee if he throws squirrels at La Rochejaquelein?

Yes... I'm knee-deep in Royalist/Catholic propaganda, reading the Memories of the Marquise de La Rochejaquelein (Mémoires de Mme la marquise de La Rochejaquelein écrits par elle-même). Every book I've seen about the war in the Vendée references it, so I reckoned I should probably read it myself. It's quite interesting but obviously biased. She gives a pretty detailed and sympathetic perspective of the Vendéean side.

This is a true story. Apparently, Henri de La Rochejaquelein (baby generalissimo extraordinaire who, antiquated views aside, seems like a pretty cool guy and is very good at his job for a 21-year-old) had an irrational fear of squirrels. Yes. Squirrels.

Now I have this entire alternate reality headcanon of the CPS back in Paris training squirrels to send to the Army of the West....
