Marie Antoinette: Queen, Mother, Icon  photo
Starting with her arrival in France as a 14-year-old bride, this tour will explore Marie Antoinette’s life as she becomes Queen, embraces motherhood, and ultimately faces her tragic end. We'll look at the dramatic subversion of her image during the French Revolution and beyond. From being demonised by her subjects to navigating life as an unsupported wife, this tour aims to share the story of one remarkably brave woman.
