The Tuileries Palace: Where Kings and Revolutionaries Lived

In this episode of The Story of France, Lucas and Luna explore the turbulent history of the Tuileries Palace, the Parisian residence that witnessed the rise and fall of monarchs, revolutionaries, and emperors. From Catherine de' Medici's Renaissance construction to its storming by the Paris mob in 1792, from Napoleon's imperial court to the tragic end of the Commune in 1871, the palace was a silent witness to France's most dramatic moments. Learn about the intriguing tuilerie tile factory that gave the site its name, the royal family's desperate flight during the August 10 insurrection, and the fateful decision to burn the palace during the Paris Commune. Discover how the grounds became the iconic Jardin des Tuileries, and why the palace's destruction created the grand perspective from the Louvre to the Arc de Triomphe.
