Every Moment That Changed the History of France | History Before Bed

France’s story begins not with revolts — but with rivers.
Celtic tribes. Roman roads. Castles rising beside vineyards and cathedrals.

But every crown and republic brought a reckoning: revolution, empire, occupation, resistance, and rebirth.

From Charlemagne to Napoleon.
From Versailles to the trenches.
From guillotines to global fashion weeks.

This is the full journey of France — told in one continuous story.
Watch until the end to understand how a nation shaped by art and upheaval became the heart of Europe again and again.
