    Oops, my apologies - I have just realised I used a picture of Louis XIV instead of Louis XVI!! 😭
    Please note, it should have been a picture of Louis XVI who looks like this --> www.biography.com/royalty/louis-xvi

      He didn't ended it, but it way changed it at least.. .the Restoration wasn't as absolute as before the revolution... louis XVIII, Charles X and the less absolute is Louis Philippe, this last has nothing in common with the previous ones.

    Beleive it or not, I wrote all of these little anecdotes AFTER seeing des questions mais avant hearing our Chère professeur explain the lessons: (just happy that I remembered so much from school) ... :D
    I learnt from my favourite histroire professuer, Miss Diana + , that Louis XIV built it, Louis XV enjoyed it, and Louis XVI paid for it referencing the Château de Versailles. "Let 'em eat cake" ... (she didn't say it)?
    I have also been a fanatic of Frédéric Bastiat (1850) who wrote one the greatest pamphlets of all time IMHO "The Law". He loved la liberté, and in that century, he said that the US was quite the model (minus the plunder against the slaves, of course). I picked French to learn because I wanted to read this pamphlet in its original French and of course the works of Mersenne !
    I am a former United States Coastguardsman, and our branch of the military started in 1790. Also, few know that the now archaic "Thee, Thou, Thy, & Thine" were our "familiar" forms of address, but because of the egalitarian movements, everyone called everyone "You" and all of the "formal" forms of address in the English-speaking world after that. Thanks to France for shewing that it could be done!
    July seemed to be a bad month for monarchs - ironic that July is named after none other than Julius Caesar - a monarch, per se ...
    Do we or do we not harm more of our brothers than even the most deathly plague? :( I wish more children learnt these horrors in order that they never repeat them ... hm ... where have I heard _THAT_ before?
    In México, we also have a "desfile militar" on our 16 sept celebraciones. Cohetes (fireworks) are also in the mix ... although, I have never attended a "ball", we do have a "Noche mexicana" to celebrate, and wee attend the "grito" on the 15th at 11 pm (23 heures).
    Quelle belle chanteuse, ma professeur ! Salut de mexique avec l'amour !
    PS - When I was a music teacher in Arizona, I taught my music classes the anthems of the US, Spain, Canada, Mexico, and mais oui, FRANCE!!! There eyes were quite opened to studying the history after that, and I think we had some really informed kiddos!!! Adieu !

    About 1790 2:26, there has also had an event on the 14 th of July this year. This was about a celebration that gathered every body at the time (including royalists and revolutionaries). This was an other reason why the 14th of July was chosen. This is also why most history teachers hate the English name of this day.

    1) What is celebrated on July 14? The Capture of the Bastille (1789) AND the Feast of Confederation (1790)
    2) Delacroix’s painting represents the second French revolution in 1830
    The red jacket is for the English. In France it’s blue.
    1) Que fête-t-on le 14 juillet ? : La prise de la bastille (1789) ET la fête de la fédération (1790)
    2) Le tableau de Delacroix représente la seconde révolution Française en 1830
    La veste rouge c'est pour les anglais. En France c'est bleu.
