“Il y a deux jour, c’était le triste anniversaire de l’assassinat de la reine Marie-Antoinette. Pour la 219éme fois, les français et les royalistes ont honoré la mémoire de cette grande reine, de cette mère qui fut digne jusqu’à la fin alors que la tyrannie parisienne la menait sur l’échafaud.
A cette occasion je vous propose de redécouvrir un documentaire de Secret d’histoire présenté par Stephane Bern et intitulé Marie Antoinette intime.”
