Expo: Directoire, Consulate, 1st Empire, the Restoration of the Kings
Guided tour of the Musée Carnavalet
The period we'll be studying is the post-revolutionary era, from Thermidor and the bloody fall of Robespierre to the Second Empire. It was a particularly troubled period, with rapid changes to the Regime.
The corrupt Directoire had to strike, on the left the Jacobins, on the right the royalists, a regime saved by a little general named Bonaparte, whose star soon rose to the firmament with the glorious Italian campaign and the extraordinary Egyptian adventure.
Napoleon built Europe at the cost of incessant warfare. His vertiginous fall brought the Bourbons back to the throne of France, with the white flag with the Fleurs de Lys and the coronation of the last king of France at Reims.
The new republic was confiscated by "Napoleon the Lesser".
A glorious era for our civilization: the Musée Napoléon in the Louvre brought together masterpieces from all over Europe. The "Description de l'Egypte" under the aegis of Vivant Denon is one of the greatest monuments of the human spirit. The Romantic era saw an unparalleled artistic ferment. The era of Louis-Philippe and Napoleon III was one of economic prosperity and scientific progress.
