In 1789, the French Revolution began. Although a member of the aristocracy, Lafayette was on the side of the people. He wrote and presented the Declaration of the Rights of Man and he was a Citizen of the French National Assembly. When the revolution began he led the National Guard to try and maintain order.

Liberty style in Paris at Musée Carnavalet, Paris - fabulous historic chateau houses a museum to the history of the city. From earliest times thro’ medieval period and French Revolution to 20th and 21st centuries. A room dedicated to Georges Fouquet, liberty-style artist and jewellery maker introduced me to 1920s and 30s stained glass, fantastic mosaic flooring and sculpted peacocks. #liberty #artnouveau #style #quality #Paris #Marais
