Paris on Fire: Why Does Paris Keep Burning Itself Down?

from Sleeping Through the Pages

Paris is the city of romance, cafés, and the Eiffel Tower. It’s also a city with a centuries-long habit of building barricades, overthrowing governments, and setting things on fire. From medieval uprisings and the French Revolution to Les Misérables, the Paris Commune, and modern protests, we explore why Parisians keep taking to the streets—and how rebellion became part of the city’s identity.
