Toulouse-Lautrec Ep 1: But, First... A Tale of French Lineage in Three Acts

Before we begin the Toulouse-Lautrec journey, we of course need a 5 hour fever dream of French history. It only took me one episode in this series for me to lose my mind, so that's pretty exciting :) 

Act I: Entirely Too Many Louis 

Act II: Little Internal Structures

Act III: It's a Family Affair
