But for historical events I would like to go see the coronation of reims of Clovis. The siege of La Rochelle, The crossing of the Rhine by Louis XIV, The coronation of our lady of Napoleon and his victory at Austerlitz and Friedland. The first balloon flight. Follow the first settlers of New France
For historical people with whom I would like to speak, Richelieu, Mazarin, Louis XIV, Napoleon, Joan of Arc, Montaigne, Pasteur, Lapérouse, Voltaire, Clémenceau, Bossuet, Rabelais, Verlaine, Victor Hugo, Jean de la Fontaine, Charles Perrault , Arthur Rimbaud, Chateaubriand.
I will have many more but that will make a list too long lol
If you could go back in time, which historical event would you like to attend, and which historical figure would you like to speak with?
Your list contains a lot from French history, are you French by any chance?
I would very much like to debate with Sokrates, Marcus Aurelius, Charlemagne, witness the siege of Syracusae (the one with Archimedes burning sails of invaders), fight alongside Saigo Takamori, take a part in The Great French Revolution, argue with Karl Marx and last but not least, see the arrival of the Winged Hussars at Vienna.
I love to play chess so I'd like to go back and spend some time with Paul Morphy and maybe grab some pointers. As far as historical events go, I would like to see the first test flight of the first plane.
If my safety could be guaranteed from the impact, I would like to go back in time and spend a week (or so) in the Cretaceous. Probably right here in North America. I would like to schedule it so I could witness the KT impact that took out the dinosaurs.
Somehow I think that's not the answer you're looking for though, as it seems to be more centered around people. I would like to interview Bach or Handel probably.
By the way, I too would probably like to interview Laperouse. If anything I'd like to know what happened to him.
Eric P. Dollard made some wild claims... It would be interesting if they were true... Who knows what he was involved with, how much acid he dropped, or how full of shit he was...
Easy the time of Jesus and meeting and talking with Him. Second to be one of the 300 Spartans. Third to meet the Byzantine King that defeated the Catholic Christians ( they were Orthodox) and the Muslim's in 364 AD. Fought on two fronts.
