On the morning of October 16, a guard arrived to cut her hair and bind her hands behind her back. She was forced into a common, slow-moving cart and paraded through the streets of Paris for over an hour before reaching the Place de la Révolution where the guillotine stood. She stepped lightly down from the cart and stared up at the guillotine. The priest who had accompanied her whispered, "This is the moment, Madame, to arm yourself with courage." Marie Antoinette turned to look at him and smiled, "Courage? The moment when my troubles are going to end is not the moment when my courage is going to fail me." Legend states that her last words were, "Monsieur, I ask your pardon. I did not do it on purpose," spoken after she had stepped on the executioner's foot. She was then stripped naked, as punishment to the executioner's embarrassment.
At 12:15 Marie Antoinette was executed. Her head was exhibited to a cheering crowd. The bodies of Marie, Louis XVI and Madame Elisabeth (Louis' sister) were buried in the churchyard of La Madeleine and covered in quicklime. Following the restoration of the Bourbons, a search was conducted for the bodies. On the January 21, 1815, some bone fragments and a clump of gray matter with a lady's garter was discovered. The fragments were buried in the crypt of St. Denis Basilica.

The beginning of the end started on July 14, 1789, when a mob stormed the Bastille. Then the Revolution forced the royal family to move from the sumptuous palace of Versailles to the dank, dark Tuileries Palace in Paris. Prisoners for two years, Marie and Louis, along with their three children, attempted to escape in 1791 with the aide of Marie’s Swedish lover, Axel Ferson. However, the attempt was unsuccessful when someone recognized the King because of his picture on their coins! Now confined to the Temple, the royal husband and wife awaited their trials. After a short trial, Louis XIV was guillotined on January 21, 1793. Deprived of her children, Marie was subjected to horrific living conditions of the rat infested, filthy Temple dungeons. Found guilty of high treason and illicit sexual practices, Marie Antoinette was guillotined on October 16, 1793. Both executions took place at the Place de la Bastille, Paris, France.
