Paris (France), Apr 7 (EFE / EPA) .- (CAMERA: Christophe Petit-Tesson) The Musee de l'Armee in Paris presented the exhibition "Napoléon n'est plus" (Napoleon was), which is dedicated to the death and legacy of Napoleon Bonaparte and can be visited from March 31 to September 19.
In this week's show, we focus on a little-known and yet defining page in French history: the Paris Commune, which is marking its 150th anniversary. La Commune de Paris was a revolutionary Socialist government that controlled Paris from March 18 to May 28, 1871. It started as a bloody insurrection and ended in a brutal civil war, but it was also a social laboratory that experimented with concepts central to modern-day France. Today, 150 years later, its legacy continues to divide the country. We take a closer look in this episode of French Connections.

Forty years ago, on October 15, 1983, a handful of young people set off from the southern French city of Marseille on a long march north to Paris. They were demanding equal rights and a stop to racist crimes blighting France at the time. By the time they reached the French capital on December 3, they were flanked by tens of thousands of demonstrators. FRANCE 24 brings you a special 50-minute documentary looking back at this historic event and its legacy.
