LA NUIT DE VARENNES
A night in June 1791, the libertine writer, Restif de la Bretonne, decides to follow a mysterious carriage as it discreetly leaves the Royal Palace. From one way station to the next, the passengers of the stage coach have time to become acquainted as they talk of life, love, politics and the revolution… They soon learn that the royal family is fleeing Paris and heading for Varennes where the passengers witness their arrest. A landmark night in the history of France.
