Not quite the last popular insurrection in Paris - the 1870 Paris Commune uprising took the city. Had they only listened to Marie Roget they would've taken France.

"Citizens" by Simon Schama is available in MP3 format for download from many public libraries. Free. From publisher: "Instead of the dying Old Regime, Schama presents an ebullient country, vital and inventive, infatuated with novelty and technology -- a strikingly fresh view of Louis XVI's France. A New York Times bestseller in hardcover"

Coursera, which offers free online courses from some great universities, is offering a free 7 week course on the French Revolution taught by Peter Mcphee from the University of Melbourne. The class just started and it is a good review of all the great material we have covered. If you do the work, you can even get a certificate of completion.
