Description
Imagine… it’s 1787 and violent protests have broken out around you in the streets of Paris. The people are starving while the Aristocracy sits in Versailles living a life of luxury! 1 year later, King Louis the XVI calls for an emergency session of the Assemblée des Etats Généraux but it is too late. The revolution has begun!
During this interactive workshop in French, attendants will discover the origins of the French Revolution, as well as its main events, actors, and outcomes. Students will learn the history of the revolution through interactive activities while also learning new expressions and vocabulary.
