Recalling the Revolution at Vizille


On Wednesday we visited the Chateau de Vizille which played a notable part in the French Revolution. We checked out the museum of the Revolution (interesting) before driving deep into the Alpes past l’Alpe D’Huez and into Briancon; one remote part of this great geographical wonderland. A revolution to get rid of the ruling classes seems not such a bad idea at times. From our distant European viewpoint I could support rolling out the guillotine for most Australian liberals except hey, they seem to be doing such a good job on themselves at the moment. Save from the factor that they are using my taxes so poorly.
