Marie Antoinette at the Guillotine

Marie Antoinette at the Guillotine --Copyright Mark A. Hicks

For Bastille Day with apologies to my daughter and my late wife -- the Habsburgs are some of their ancestors and are related to Marie. (Maybe that's where that wretched BRCA2 mutation came from.)

By the way, although often attributed to her, apparently Marie Antoinette never said, "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche."

 

I have French ancestry, but think more Les Misérables.
