=L'Armoire de Fer=
<!--
=[[Louis XVI of France]]=
On 6 August 1792, a crowd gathered at the Champ de Mars once more to demand the abolition of the monarchy. Fearing attempts to derail the revolution, radical Jacobins and Cordeliers took refuge at the Hôtel de Ville along with 7,000 troops and took over the Paris Commune. In response, Louis strengthened the defences at the Tuileries from 2,000 to 3,000 men, mainly composed of his Swiss Guard.[23] When the grounds of the Tuileries were invaded on 10 August by 20,000 revolutionaries, the angry crowd sought to kill the royal family, but Louis had seemingly predicted the situation and fled in advance with his family.[22] They took refuge with the Legislative Assembly in the Salle du Manège,[24] where Louis was arrested soon after and stripped of his power,[3] before being imprisoned in the Temple with his family.[25] During the storming of the Tuileries, the young artillery officer Napoleon Bonaparte stole the temple key, while copies of the King's correspondence with Mirabeau were found in the iron cabinet and made public by the Templars.[19] The iron cabinet also housed a register with the names of Assassins and Templars, though this document went unnoticed by the invaders and was eventually destroyed.[REF ARM] On 21 September, France was proclaimed a republic.[1]
[...]
Throughout his life, Louis displayed indecisiveness and shyness, and was mild-mannered, most likely having taken these traits from his childhood tutors. Despite his good intentions of helping the French people, his lack of a strong personality meant that he was unable to exert power in the field of politics, of which he had little knowledge.[1] He was also frequently influenced by his close associates and his wife.[21] It is believed that he was clinically depressed, and he often sought refuge from his duties by indulging in hobbies.[1] Louis XVI was a great lover of locks and clocks, preferring to spend more time in his workshop than with his queen. He also studied extensively, being a keen student of science, with a passion for geography and the navy, as well as a fluent English speaker.[REF ARM] In 2014, the Abstergo Entertainment researcher Robert Fraser said of Louis, "Very mild mannered (i.e., boring). His speech to the Estates-General almost put me to sleep".[1]
=[[World War I]]=
The countries envolved signed an armistice on 11 November 1918, ending the war.[REF ARM]
The day following the armistice, painter Claude Monet gifted a selection of his ''{{Wiki|Water Lilies (Monet series)|Water Lilies}}'' to the French government as a symbol of peace. These paintings would later be installed at the {{Wiki|Musée de l'Orangerie}} a few months after his death in 1927.[REF ARM]
During the war, the French adopted the {{Wiki|Centaurea cyanus|cornflower}} as {{Wiki|Bleuet de France|symbol}} of remembrance and solidarity with the veterans and victims of war, as it was one of the few flowers that grew on battlefields riddled with shells. The [[poppy]] serves the same {{Wiki|Remembrance poppy|symbolic}} function in England.[REF ARM]
=[[Storming of the Bastille]]=
On 12 July 1789, Swiss courtier and military officer {{Wiki|Pierre Victor, baron de Besenval de Brünstatt|Marquis de Besenval}} withdrew his troops from Paris in the face of government inaction[REF ARM] in suppressing the popular riots,[REF WIKI] which culminated two days later. On 14 July, a delegation of the National Assembly was invited to the Bastille to discuss terms with the governor. However, the protesters outside had become restless and managed to cut the chains holding the raised drawbridge.[2] The fortress was attacked by outraged Frenchmen joined by the Templar Élise de la Serre, who was searching for Arno. The general of the Bastille, de Launay, was killed by the mob; his head was hanged on a pike, which served as the start of the French Revolution.[3] During the havoc, Arno and Bellec used the opportunity to make their escape. The novelist Donatien Alphonse François, Marquis de Sade was also a prisoner, but had been transferred shortly before the building fell to the mob.[1]
In 1789, the Marquis de Besenval was imprisoned, wrongly accused of having instigated the burning of Paris and the massacre of its inhabitants.[REF ARM]
=[[Palais Bourbon]]=
After the French Revolution broke out, the Palais Bourbon was nationalized,[REF DB] and it was used first as a revolutionary prison, and later as the {{Wiki|École Polytechnique}}. On 21 January 1798, it began functioning as the home to the legislative Council of Five Hundred.[REF ARM] Several members of the Templar Order were able to join the Council and used their influence to attempt to continue the Reign of Terror. In response, the Assassin Council of the French Brotherhood had Arno Dorian kill the Templars, curtailing their influence.[2]
In January 2007, the tricolour flag was first brought into the National Assembly.[REF ARM]
=[[Tuileries Palace|Tuileries Gardens]]=
The original palace was built in 1564 under orders of Catherine de' Medici, widow of King [[Henry II of France]],[REF ARM] who found the Louvre too small to serve as the royal palace.[1] She was keen to express her Florentine heritage with the palace, using Italian Renaissance style in the architecture. [REF ARM] The Tuileries were later united with the Louvre by Henry IV.[1] In 1664, King Louis XIV had landscape architect {{Wiki|André Le Nôtre}} redesign the gardens, as he had done with [[Palace of Versailles|Versailles]] previously.[REF ARM]
Over the centuries, the Tuileries' garden would become much like an amusement park,[1] the highlight of which came on 27 August 1783 when physicist and chemist Jacques Charles led the world's first manned hydrogen balloon flight, accompannied by aeronauts and engineers {{Wiki|Robert brothers|Anne-Jean and Nicolas-Louis Robert}}.[REF ARM]
During the 1871 Paris Commune, the palace burned down.[REF ARM]
=[[Palace of Versailles]]=
Originally a hunting lodge for King Louis XIII, the palace was gradually expanded and renovated over the course of the century by his son and successor, Louis XIV,[1] who commissioned landscape architect {{Wiki|André Le Nôtre}} to design the gardens.
=[[Place de la Concorde]]=
On 25 October 1836, an {{Wiki|Luxor Obelisks|obelisk}} was erected in the Place de la Concorde, with the engineer of the machine that raised it, {{Wiki|fr:Apollinaire Lebas|Jean-Baptiste Apollinaire Lebas}}, remaining underneath during the process, so that if it failed, he would die without suffering the shame.[REF ARM]
=[[Basilica di San Marco]]=
In 1797, [[Napoleon Bonaparte]] {{Wiki|Fall of the Republic of Venice|invaded}} Venice,[REF ARM] dissolving the approximately 1,100 year old [[Republic of Venice|republic]][REF WIKI] and stealing the {{Wiki|Horses of Saint Mark|four bronze horses}} that adorned the Basilica. They would later be returned,[REF ARM] but only after his defeat in 1815.<ref name="Horses">{{WP|Horses of Saint Mark}}</ref>
=[[Napoleon Bonaparte]]=
In 1797, Napoleon {{Wiki|Fall of the Republic of Venice|invaded}} Venice,[REF ARM] dissolving the approximately 1,100 year old [[Republic of Venice|republic]][REF WIKI] and stealing the {{Wiki|Horses of Saint Mark|four bronze horses}} that adorned the [[Basilica di San Marco]] for use decorating the {{Wiki|Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel}}.[REF ARM]
=[[Venice]]=
In 1797, [[Napoleon Bonaparte]] {{Wiki|Fall of the Republic of Venice|invaded}} Venice,[REF ARM] dissolving the approximately 1,100 year old [[Republic of Venice|republic]][REF WIKI] and stealing the {{Wiki|Horses of Saint Mark|four bronze horses}} that adorned the Basilica di San Marco.[REF ARM]
=[[Sainte-Clotilde]]=
{{Era|Landmarks}}{{WP-REAL}}
'''Sainte-Clotilde''' is a basilica church in [[Paris]], [[France]].[REF WIKI]
In 1789, the site of the basilica was occupied by the church of {{Wiki|fr:Couvent de Sainte-Valère|Saint-Valère}}. There, the Community of Penitent Ladies<!--"Communauté des Filles Pénitentes" in the original.-> housed women of ill repute. It was later replaced by the basilica, the current form of which dates from 1857,[REF ARM] being the first neo-Gothic style church in the city.[REF WIKI] A {{Wiki|Sacred Heart Cathedral (Guangzhou)|replica church}} was eventually erected in [[China]].[REF ARM]
