Despite technical difficulties during recording and technical difficulties with power outages during editing, the girls are back! Mikaela once again picked a topic where she gets to struggle with the French language as the girls head to 17th century Paris to discuss the Court of Miracles, a series of slums that littered the City of Love and inspired Victor Hugo to write a novel. Starting with the reign of Louis XIV, Mikaela discusses the high levels of poverty that drove the French to homelessness before discussing the layout and hierarchy of the Court. Paying special attention to the Thieves Guild, Mikaela weaves the tale of Cartouche who Becca has decided looked like Corbin Bleu in orange and purple striped tights. But unfortunately all good things must come to an end. The decline of the Court of Miracles started with Gabriel Nicolas de la Reynie before meeting its final end with social reforms during the Napoleonic era. Ending with the pop culture impact that the Court of Miracles left on the world, Mikaela discusses Victor Hugo, Disney, Assassin’s Creed, and the new novel “The Court of Miracles” by Kester Grant.
