Bastille Day
Today is Bastille Day. Have some links. Not necessarily anime/manga related, but I figure you've got to have some interest in French history if you like RoV.
- History.com's homepage features many French history articles for Bastille Day.
- French Revolution and Bastille topic pages on History.com - lots of interesting videos, and about halfway down are related article links such as Marie Antoinette and Maximillen Robespierre (for those Le Chevallier d'Eon fans :D).
- Discovery Channel News has a nice slideshow called Bastille Day: Unintended Consequences - probably the most interesting read of the bunch since it's one of those did-you-know lists (hover over the photo to read the captions)
- Images from the French Revolution - an older slideshow of period paintings and sketches, also from Discovery Channel
