Introduction

This is a travel blog showing the escalation of the French Revolution.  The sites detailed in this blog were key places during the French Revolution taken from different phases of the war.  Starting with the end of Absolutism in the Palace of Versailles and then showing how forts like Fort Saint Nicholas had its armaments aimed at its citizens and their borders.  Then ending with the massacre at Vendée.  I hope to succeed in showing how dark the Revolutionary War was throughout France.

Our first stop - Absolutism, the Palace of Versailles and the Start of the French Revolution
