The famous one-liner, “Let them eat cake,” that’s often attributed to Marie Antoinette in response to the French people’s suffering is said to be an inaccurate translation of “Qu’ils mangent de la Brioche.” The famous phrase that was said to bring on the French Revolution might be a little lost in translation, and it might not have been said by Marie Antoinette, afterall. But there’s no denying the impact of the French Revolution and the storming of the Bastille, which occurred on July 14, 1789.
In honor of Bastille Day, the national French holiday (and my birthday), how fitting is today’s Etsy Find?
