In today's episode of "Places People Purpose," we explore the vibrant city of Paris, known for its rich history, iconic landmarks, and dynamic culture. We begin by tracing the city's origins, from the Celtic tribe of Parisii in the 3rd Century BCE to the Roman era's Lutetia. The Frankish takeover and Viking raids followed before Hugh Capet's rule brought stability in 987, initiating a prosperous era. However, challenges like The Hundred Years' War, the Bubonic Plague, and social unrest during the Protestant Reformation and Wars of Religion left their mark. The French Revolution, marked by the storming of the Bastille and the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, led to the end of the monarchy, symbolized by the executions of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. Join us in our next episode as we continue our journey through the history of Paris after the French Revolution, unraveling its transformation over the centuries. Stay tuned with "Places People Purpose," where we connect with our world through history and storytelling.
