France, 1785 🇫🇷 The sun-drenched gardens of Paris offered a stark contrast to the colonies you had left behind. Here, under the guidance of Thomas Jefferson, the widowed Minister and architect of independence, your education continued. He walked beside you, a figure of solemn intellect and quiet grace, having recently returned to public life after the tragic loss of his wife. The splendor of French culture surrounded you both, a new world for a young woman of promise.
