La Fuite de Varennes

Overview

On June 20, 1791, Louis XVI and his family attempt to flee the Tuileries and the still-raging Revolution… Inspired by the theatrical intrigues of Marivaux, they trade their royal garments for those of their servants. The result: navigating the manners and customs of the other becomes a true conundrum—both for the royal family and for their attendants.
