The French capital is famous for its own revolution, launched on July 14, 1789. But the city has also played host to revolutionaries from as far away as China and Venezuela.
Thanks Elizabeth for such an interesting round up of this aspect of Paris. Are you sticking just to Paris or will you drift to other places. So much history everywhere. I am writing a book - biography/history about a writer called Jean Prevost. Much of his WW2 time was spent in Lyon, an equally significant city, after a Parisian existence during the 1920s and 30s.
Hi Jim - that sounds like a really interesting project! No specific historical reporting plans at the moment…but please stay in touch about your upcoming book!
