The City of Paris has recently launched an English version of its"Parcours Révolution" app., a self-guided walking tour of the Revolutionary sites of the capital, with text by Guillaume Mazeau and Jean-Claude Caron.
About - Parcours Révolution (paris.fr)
The City of Paris is offering you the chance to travel back in time to Paris during the French Revolution through its many vestiges and symbols still visible from this era, a major turning point in the history of France and its capital.
The Parcours Révolution will guide you in the discovery of 16 neighborhoods, more than 120 sites from this groundbreaking era and its major historical figures, some famous, others forgotten, who made their mark on history.
Created upon the Paris City Council’s initiative and in collaboration with the City of Paris’s Historical Commission, this mobile app was designed and compiled by a research committee and historians specializing in this period.
This is obviously an informative and high-quality production. (It is pity though that all the further reading is entirely in France and much of it unobtainable outside a specialist library).
