The ideological confrontation came to a head in late May when thousands of people took part in the annual march to the Murs des fédérés at the Père Lachaise cemetery in Paris, where many Communards were summarily executed during the Semaine sanglante. A short distance away, a handful of antifa members hurled insults and objects at a Catholic procession that was making its way up the slopes of Ménilmontant to honour the priests who were executed by Communards in the revolution’s dying throes. Soon after, reports started to circulate about a man clad in blood red in the Tuileries Gardens. In some sightings, he even stalked the corridors of the nearby palace. It could only be Jean, and seeing him became an omen of impending violent death. Orly-Sud was conceived at the same time as the terminal, and was dug out under the building in preparation of a future expansion of the Métro to this location. However no such expansion ever occurred, and the automated Métro Orlyval instead opened in 1997 without using the location that had been reserved for the Métro station. The station has now sat as a simple box for more than half a century. [4] See also [ edit ]You’ll visit the haunting Ile de la Cité, hearing about poor Marie Antoinette’s imprisonment.

Originally one of the largest Cistercian monasteries in the world, Mortemer has a semi-creepy origin story. The monks who built the abbey had to first dry and reclaim the marshy lands on which they planned to place the foundations, in a likely putrid spot referred to as the “dead pond” ( morte mar)– giving the Abbey its name.

The fact that the Commune was crushed by a nascent republic – the Third Republic, still France’s longest lasting – makes it an awkward fit for the historical narrative established by France’s successive republican regimes, says historian Ludivine Bantigny. “In essence, there were two forms of Republic that faced each other,” she explains. “And one crushed or even exterminated the other.” In The Ghosts of Paris, the gutsy Billie Walker walks toward danger, finding answers aplenty and new invigorating doorways to future puzzling mysteries and compelling personal adventures.

The enduring divide resurfaced in spectacular fashion this year as Paris councillors publicly feuded over the merits of marking the Commune’s 150th anniversary. Mayor Anne Hidalgo’s left-wing administration chose to hold a series of events celebrating the Commune’s contribution to women’s rights, participatory democracy and the separation of Church and State. But for the right-wing opposition, glorifying the insurrection was merely an ode to violence – and a dangerous one too in the wake of Yellow Vest unrest.
