""Ouverture Des Etats-Generaux: Faite A Versailles Le 5 Mai 1789"" is a historical book written by Charles Louis Francois De Barentin in 1789. The book provides a detailed account of the opening ceremony of the Estates-General, which took place on May 5, 1789, in Versailles, France. The Estates-General was a crucial event in French history, as it marked the beginning of the French Revolution.
