#frevsummer2026

(from Bastille to Tuileries)

It's finally here!

Tomorrow begins the summer challenge for all writers and artists who love the French Revolution and want to have a little fun.

This summer, like every year, we will have several events to remember. Some of them bring us joy and others sorrow.

So, let's be creative and share with others our deepest feelings about these events.

For those who don't yet know how it works, I'll summarize it.

The challenge runs from July 14th to August 10th, which are important milestones for anyone interested in the revolution.

We've compiled the prompts you've sent me into the list above - one for each day. Choose any one of them that inspires you and write fiction or poetry, or draw a picture and post it on your blog. You can choose one prompt each day or contribute just once.

Nothing is mandatory, we want you to have fun.

To help us all enjoy it, please tag your posts with:

(written for Frev Summer 2026)

Today has brought so much excitement.

You can barely catch your breath and the blood rushes wildly to your radiant face. You have a smile on your lips, while you are holding your sweetheart in one hand and a bottle of wine in the other.

Tonight you are all dancing and singing, even though you were fighting for your lives in the courtyard of Bastille a moment ago. The acrid smell of gunpowder still lingers in the air, and the head of Governor de Launny, impaled on a pike, looks down at you in amazement.

Smile, because today has brought the first victory to the common people, and you feel that something great and wonderful is just beginning.

IT'S A REVOLUTION! This is how they broke the news to the king.

So smile and rejoice in today's success, even if two of your neighbors lie dead nearby with a hole in their chests, even if tomorrow many more battles and hardships await you.
