"Liberté, égalité, fraternité"

Think you know the story of Marie Antoinette, last queen of France before the French Revolution? In this episode we suggest things may not have played out quite the way the history books put it...

We invite you to eavesdrop on a secret conversation conducted in 1783 on a beach on the west coast of France.
