Completely burned down during the Commune (1871), the Tuileries Palace was one of the main sites of the French Revolution. On October 6, 1789, insurgent Parisian women forced Louis XVI to leave the Palace of Versailles. After having been abandoned as a royal residence for more than a century, the old Tuileries Palace and its gardens once again welcomed the king and his court. Shortly afterward, the National Assembly relocated to a neighboring building, an indoor riding academy called the “Salle du Manège.” On August 10, 1792, the Tuileries became the site of the fall of the monarchy: the palace was stormed and invaded by the people. The deputies then moved into the palace itself, into a theater known as the “Salle des Machines.” Every day, political life animated the streets of this neighborhood: on the terrace of the Feuillants, deputies, journalists, and citizens crossed paths. The clubs of the Revolutionary Republican Women, the Feuillants, and the Jacobins were located nearby.

Totalement incendié pendant la Commune (1871), le palais des Tuileries fut un des principaux lieux de la Révolution française. Le 6 octobre 1789, les Parisiennes insurgées obligent Louis XVI à quitter le château de Versailles. Abandonné comme résidence royale depuis plus d’un siècle, le vieux palais des Tuileries et ses jardins voient donc revenir le roi et sa cour. Peu après, l’Assemblée nationale s’installe dans une salle voisine, dédiée à l’équitation : le « Manège ». Le 10 août 1792, c’est aux Tuileries que se joue la chute de la monarchie : le palais est pris d’assaut et envahi par le peuple. Les députés déménagent alors au sein même du palais, dans la salle des Machines. Au quotidien, la vie politique anime les rues du quartier : sur la terrasse des Feuillants, députés, journalistes et citoyens se croisent. Les clubs des Républicaines révolutionnaires, des Feuillants et des Jacobins siègent à proximité. Le Louvre est aussi un des hauts lieux des révolutions de 1830 et de 1848.
