What LIFE In PARIS Really Looked Like — The DAY Before The REVOLUTION
PARIS. July 13th, 1789. 650,000 people are going about their lives in one of the largest cities in Europe. The bread costs 80% of a worker's daily wage. The treasury is empty. The nobles refuse to pay taxes. And yesterday — the king fired the one man ordinary people trusted. Tomorrow — the Bastille falls. The Revolution begins. The world changes forever. But today — July 13th — Paris is still standing on the edge. The cafes are full. The pamphlets are everywhere. A young journalist named Camille Desmoulins is about to jump onto a table in the Palais-Royal and change history. And a woman has been waiting in a bread queue since before dawn. This is what Paris really looked like — the day before everything changed. Part of our Lost Civilizations series.
