LET THEM EAT CAKE AND MORE

Image
When told that starving French peasants lacked any bread to eat, the queen is alleged to have declared, “Let them eat cake!”.  There is no evidence, however, that Marie Antoinette ever uttered that famous quote, she would have shown a terrible out-of-touch and indifference.  a) Could you investigate who else was thought to have said this sentence? b) For how long didn't Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI consummate their marriage? c) What has to do "La belle poule" with Marie Antoinette? Let's leave Marie Antoinette alone. And try to guess: d) Which revolutionary French doctor and journalist was killed in his bathtub? Who killed him? e) During the Convention, France had a new calendar, could you tell me your birthday date with that calendar?
