It's no secret that during the French revolution the guillotine was quite busy. It usually was a relatively short stay in La Conciergerie, usually no longer than 3 days, many times the very next day. While in the cell, a prisoner could purchase food or drink with whatever coinage she/he had. And the night before the execution the prisoner's hair was cut off (basket). Well-known temporary residents of this place included Marie-Antoinette, Robespierre, and Madame du Barry, among others. Paris, France; July, 2016.

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
My wife and I are currently watching the award-winning HBO mini-series, "John Adams", starring Paul Giamatti and Laura Linney. When Adams is sent to Paris in 1777 to court the French at Versailles, the French royalty and it's sycophants appear quite self-indulgent. If those scenes are accurate in their description, no wonder the populace rose up. Absolutely the "have too much" and the "never did haves". This series, by the way, is outstanding, and should be watched by all Americans and by anyone who wants to understand our revolution better.
