    The Tuileries Palace: The History and Legacy of France's Famous Royal Palace , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 80min
    The massacre followed the sacrificial logic of the scapegoat: unable to vent their violence upon its intended object, the king, the revolutionaries chose victims who symbolised the sovereign power of the king and whose deaths could serve to unify the people.... The destruction of the Swiss Guard allowed the revolutionaries to usurp and transform the royal notion of the body politic. This outcome is captured by reports the massacre of the Swiss was accompanied by cries of 'Vive la nation!', replacing 'Vive le roi!' — Jesse Goldhammer Since the earliest days of civilization, people have built homes not just for shelter, but to proclaim their status in the world. There is evidence from the earliest known cultures that one way in which rulers showcased power was by building a more elaborate home than those around them had. Through the centuries, as homes grew larger and better furnished, those in charge had to make their homes even larger and furnish and decorate them even more, to the extent that by the time of the Middle Ages, some homes were actually castles designed to withstand combat and allow entire communities to survive attacks by invaders. Though the need for such large dwellings eventually passed, the desire for them did not, and so the castle gave way to the palace, a building the size of a castle but as elegant as its owner could afford to make it. France, like all European countries, has had its fair share of palaces over time, but none suffered the rise and fall of fortune like the Tuileries. Built by a widow with a flair for architecture, it grew for more than a decade, along with the royal family that it housed. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jim D. Johnston.

    Die Gärten von Paris
    Was wäre Paris ohne seine Gärten und Parks? Die »grüne Hauptstadt« wird die Metropole auch genannt, denn fast fünfhundert Grünanlagen gibt es hier. Viele sind längst selbst zu Sehenswürdigkeiten geworden, wie der Jardin du Luxembourg oder der Jardin des Tuileries. Andere liegen versteckt hinter hohen Mauern oder verrammelten Toren, wie der Garten des Palais Royal oder der Clos de Blancs Manteaux, und warten darauf, entdeckt zu werden.In Die Gärten von Paris nimmt die Pariserin Murielle Rousseau die Leserinnen und Leser mit in die schönsten Gärten der Stadt. Dabei nähert sich die Autorin den Gärten als Flaneurin und porträtiert sie auf ihre ganz persönliche, charmante und sehr französische Art. So entsteht Garten für Garten ein ganz besonderes Bild von Paris: das Porträt einer Stadt, gezeichnet auf einer Parkbank, mit Vogelgezwitscher im Ohr.
