"La Révolution est comme Saturne, elle dévore ses propres enfants" (Pierre Victurnien Vergniaud). "La Révolution est un bloc" (Georges Clemenceau).  En l’espace de quelques années, la France a traversé une période de turbulences, de chaos et de genèse, passant de l'Ancien régime à une république puis à un empire. Paris fut le théâtre de ces événements fondateurs, le point de convergence des aspirations populaires et des luttes politiques et le centre de l’élaboration des réformes constitutionnelles. Visite guidée d'une demi-journée ou d'une journée complète pour explorer les lieux qui témoignent de ces événements qui ont transformé la France à jamais.

A découvrir : la colonne de juillet, le Musée Carnavalet, la Conciergerie, Le Louvre, les Tuileries, le Procope et le Panthéon.
