I created a map of Louis XVI's attempted escape from Paris during the French Revolution. Louis XVI was planning was travel to Montmedy, a Royalist town in northern France, where he was going to plan his counterrevolution. Louis didn't make it this far because the people in the town of Varennes heard he had escaped from Paris. They forced him to go back to Paris because they were worried his absence would ruin the monarchy based constitution and that they would be called traitors. The map shows his route from Paris to Varennes on June 21 and his travel back to Paris from June 22nd to the 25th.
