A period of almost three years separated the end of the Ancien Régime from the collapse of the monarchy. Between 1789 and 1792, the royal family, forced to leave Versailles and its splendour, lived under house arrest in Paris, in the Tuileries Palace.
Through archival documents, engravings, works of art, objects and pieces of furniture from the Tuileries, this tumultuous period is presented here, with a particular focus on the daily life of the royal couple, Marie-Antoinette's secret correspondence with the Swedish Count Axel de Fersen and the intimacy of a castle that has now disappeared.
