U.S. FOUNDING FATHERS in paris - ONLINE JOURNEY
JOURNEY DESCRIPTION:
Benjamin Franklin, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson lived in Paris during the twelve years leading up to the French Revolution... These great men made history in the United States but also impacted that of France. Why did the American colonies send such high profile ambassadors to Paris?
Let’s walk in the footsteps of these Founding Fathers, along with other figures who took part in the American Revolution: LaFayette, Rochambeau, Thomas Paine, John Paul Jones and more…
You’ll see where they lived, died, had coffee and were even imprisoned! We’ll also explore decisive events such as the Treaty of Independence or the Louisiana Purchase…
Join me on a journey back in time to the American Revolution in Paris!
This online journey is suitable for anyone having no prior or little knowledge of the American Revolution, as well as those who are familiar with the subject and would like to explore it further. All questions are welcome :)

WOW, just WOW. I would give Thierry 10 stars if I could. He was a phenomenal host who organized his presentation in way that enabled us to cover a lot of history in depth in a relatively short period. The hour+ just flew by. His passion and knowledge were superb and he found ways to bring us into his presentation so that we were active participants, not passive listeners. Everyone in our group learned something new or gained new insights.
Wonderful talk! Fascinating details, and very helpful map with labels and clear images. Well organized. Highly recommend. Possibly better than going to Paris because the geography is extensive and would be hard to accomplish on foot.
Thierry did a very nice job, and made the subject very interesting. He showed a lot of passion for the subject, communicated very well and made my daughter and I feel very welcome. Thank you, Thierry!
Thierry was incredibly personable and knowledgeable. He was able to make a complex part of French history understandable and super interesting. This experience made me wish Thierry had been with me during my past, real life trips to France!
The experience was truly unique! Everything was explained in a clear and engaging way, with a lot of interactions and opportunities to ask questions. Thierry is a very knowledgeable and passionate host, who managed to make historical facts into a great story. Will recommend it for anyone who’s interested in that period of history!
Thierry’s deep knowledge and passion for the topic really shines through in this experience. I was glued to my seat for 1.5 hours listening to this fascinating piece of history, and didn’t know how the time flew by. This experience is a must-do for anyone interested in French history. Even if you already know a lot about it, Thierry will give you fresh insights! He’s also a very friendly person who goes out of his way to make the experience enjoyable for his audience.
