#Lucette Lagnado4
  • Lucette Lagnado in Parc Monceau in the 8th arrondissement in Paris. The park was the creation of Louis Philippe Joseph d’Orléans, the Duke of Orleans, who went to the guillotine in 1793. He was a cousin of Louis XVI, but supported the French Revolution and voted in favor of beheading the king. It didn't do him any good. He was part of the hated nobility, and after his execution, the Parc Monceau was nationalized. The park was Lucette’s favorite.
