Overview of your Versailles tour:

Versailles is not only a wonderful palace that inspired Europe but also a symbol of the French monarchy, from its glory to its bloody fall. Together, we will explore how the palace was built by Louis XIV in only forty years. We will travel through time to explore Louis XIV's daily routine, Louis XV's crazy love life or Marie Antoinette's tragic destiny. I will explain to you how the sun king made a political tool of Versailles to create an absolute monarchy and how this model faded out all along the 18th century. Let's talk about military victories and defeats, poverty and tax inequality, the American Revolution and the French Revolution. Let's discover how this palace shaped our modern history. There will also be time to ask all you have ever dreamt of knowing on the life in Versailles : were they really not bathing ? Was it smelling very bad ? Was it nice to live in the palace as a courtier ? Or how do you feel when you are "guillotiné" ? (this one I might not have the answer yet. . . )
