The political advisers were aware that the revolution was moving because the French people wash famished and they tried to open the eyes of the king Louis XVI and the carefree Marie-Antoinette, completely unconscious of what it occurred in its country.
-Sire, they ask some bread. – said the advisers to the king
-They have no more bread ? Let them eat brioche ! answered Marie-Antoinette
The day just after these words, revolutionary people captured “the baker, the bakerin and the small baker's boy”, i.e. the king, the queen and their son and the 3 have been “guillotinés”.
If it is a legend, it illustrates the way the king Louis XVI was totally not aware of the way its people was living and he is died of his ignorance.
Nowadays, the French president Jacques Chirac is often compared to Louis XVI, just enjoy life in his castle and ignorant of French people’s need just because he doesn’t know how they live. As a matter of fact, he is probably the president who communicated the less with the people and remains totally deaf when the people tried to talk with him.

It's a historical myth that Marie Antoinette said, "Let them eat cake" translated from the French "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche." Brioche isn't even cake!
Anyway, I say you're favorite cake is devils food with chocolate icing.

There was a Rumor that Marie Antoinette said "let them eat cake" about her starving subjects. It was actually a made up story to show the extravagant lifestyle and stupidity of the French Monarchy.
See- the French Aristocracy wasn't trying to be cruel. They were just so caught up in their frippery that they didn't realize that their country was going to hell.

They don't say that
There is 'no' queen of France
"Let them eat cake!" is the usual translation of "Qu'il mangent de la brioche", 'misattributed' to Marie Antoinette. She was supposed to have been refering to 'the French people'.
You like Fruit Cake???
