The Paris Hotel de Ville: Robespierre, Napoleon, and Revolution! (2019x19)

Air date: Nov 04, 2019

Originally constructed as a 16th Century City Hall, the Hotel de Ville has stood at the epicenter of the wildest events in history. It was on its doorstep that the French Revolution ignited, in its opulent rooms that Robespierre tried to commit suicide, and in its vast corridors that a radical anarchist sect siezed Paris at the end of the Franco-Prussian War.
