Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Marie Antoinette at the Tuileries: 1789-1791 The drama of the Tuileries begins. It is the sixth of October, 1789. The hour is ten in the evening. After a day of indescribable suffering, the royal family, who left Versailles at one in the afternoon, had entered the Hôtel de Ville at Paris toward nine o´clock. "It is always with pleasure and with confidence, Louis XVI. had said, that I find myself amidst the inhabitants of my good city of Paris." In repeating the King´s discourse, the mayor, Bailly, had forgotten the words "with confidence." The Queen instantly recalled them. "Gentlemen," went on Bailly, "you are more fortunate than if I had said it myself." Then Louis XVI. and his family returned to the Tuileries. It was not without hesitation and sadness that they entered. The palace seemed all the more sombre by reason of the contrast between its black facade and the illuminations in the neighboring streets.
