      I have taken the train out to Versailles three times and the very FIRST time I visited was on a European tour, my first time to Europe. Versailles is beautiful, and the grounds are lovely and its so nice on a sunny day to see all the people walking, biking, kids running around, enjoying the park.
      If you ever go, get a tram or rent a "golf cart" and go around the grounds and stop into the other buildings, the Petite Trianon and the Grand Trianon(sp, apologies to any native French here, my writing skills are very rusty), and also Marie Antoinette's little Hamlet.
      You will notice the marble on the stairs had a dip worn in them from all the hundreds of years of footsteps. The other thing that I found very interesting in there are NO hallways, you just go through one room and into another. No wonder it was hard to keep secrets, NOT much privacy.
      We in the world are so lucky that Versailles still stands and was not destroyed during the revolution.
      I am so glad I have seen Versailles in person, but now I'm done, and will explore other places. Last trip went to Versailles (do NOT go on Sunday,, I have NO idea what came over me to plan THAT!!!!) and also spend a nice day in Fontainebleau. I wonder if they will pop out there OR got to Giverny. . That is a great way to spend a day.
      Gotta say, we would NOT have a USA without the French and people would do well to remember that, study that, and appreciate that.

      I visited Versailles Palace twice during different years. My second visit was 2011, I accidentally learned about a night lights show after dark from the tourist information office. I think it cost 40 Euros, at one of the smaller gardens fountain. It has hologram of Louis XIV THE Sun King with story narrated in French. I studied the French revolution, so I knew the history, so I could follow along. It's hard to explain it, but it was so magical 😊
      I love walking around the garden after the museum closed, just stunning!
      I can't help but to compared this Palace to the Forbidden City in Beijing, home to the last emperor of China. All I saw saw tall red concrete walls, no paintings, no statues just lots of antiques furniture, most of the importance areas were 🪢 rope off. I must say that the Palace of Versailles is simply splendid! 😊 The view at the gardens, fountain ⛲! I saw on Versailles Instagram that they refurbished the golden fountain horses for this Olympic, we are lucky that this Palace was not destroyed during the revolution, although the peasants did tried to occupied it during the revolution.

      But I have to say that my favourite place in Versailles is the Village where Marie Antoinette wanted to spend more time.
      It's easy to find, just follow the signs.
      + King Louis the fourteen did not like Paris because the population invaded the Louvre when he was still a baby child.
      And he wanted more light and more fresh air in the rooms. That's the reason why he enjoyed the Galeries des Glaces.
      Mirrors and windows.

    When I was younger I was lucky enough to be able to visit for free whenever I wanted, as a french citizen under 26 years old.
    So I went there several times with my friends. Same went for other french/parisian museums such as le Louvre and le musée d'Orsay (my favourite museum). I don't know of this system still exists but it allowed me to visit different museums nearly every weekend. I am incredibly grateful for this.

    Marie Antoinette was not the last queen of France. The first French Revolution (1789) only abolished the monarchy for a few years. France was later ruled again by three kings (Louis the 18th, Charles the 10th and Louis Philipe the First) but also by two emperors (Napoleon the first and Napoleon the third). They all had wives who automatically became queen or empress. Eugénie de Montijo was the last empress of the French (up until 1870 and the Franco-Prussian war).

    • @heliedecastanet1882
      @heliedecastanet1882 5 місяців тому +4

      She was indeed the last Queen of France. After her, Joséphine and Marie-Louise were Empresses, not Queens ; Louis XVIII and Charles X were widows when they were kings ; Louis-Philippe's wife was titled "Queen of the French" ; and Eugénie was also an Empress, not a Queen. So, the last person titled "Queen of France" was indeed Marie-Antoinette 😉

      As for the style "Queen of France", well, if you want to use it for Marie-Amélie (and Joséphine, Marie-Louise, and Eugénie, considering that the "average" American could get lost), it is up to you, do as you wish 🙂

    Marie Antoinette was insulated from the divide going on in the country. She saw beautiful cakes abundantly supplied every day by the palace pastry chefs. She knew that they must throw them out, because every day she saw different ones on display throughout the palace, more than everyone could eat. Upon hearing that there were people in France that were starving, she was not a policy maker, she simply made a comment in passing, that they could have all those cakes that no doubt get thrown out. I'm paraphrasing of course, but she was not a callous monarch making fun of her subjects as people lead you to believe with their 'Let them eat cake' statement. She was a caring monarch who believed she was loved by her subjects and she loved them. That's why she stayed, so she could help with correcting whatever they felt wronged them. I recommend the book "The Queen's Confession" by Victoria Holt.

      Marie Antoinette NEVER said "Let them eat cake." She made contributions to the poor and was sensitive to the struggles of the lower classes. Louis XVI was called the Bien Aimé, much loved. The politics of the late 18th century overshadowed the character of the royal couple.

      @@oltedders true but then again she didn't do enough for the people, even though she had the money and power to do so, her mother had advised her multiple times to be a humble queen and queen of the people so to speak, what she did is like the opposite, can't blame her in some way since the people hated her why would she go all out of her way to help them, instead she focused on herself and creating a life that she wanted essentially, something that i would've done in her place

      As french as Marie de Medici or Catherine de Medici.
      Marie Antoinette was related to queen Anne d' Autriche who married king Louis XIII - who happened to be famous through the "Three Musketeers" ( a novel by Alexandre Dumas) .
      All the royal families were related. So some French queens were born Italian or Spanish or whatever.

    to be able to see those monuments without anyone there, lol, man, that's something. I last went during covid, and we needed covid passes to even get inside, and there was half the normal amount of people but it was still a lot in my opinion. But honestly, Chantilly and Vaux-le-Vicomte are better than Versailles in my opinion. "the hills are alive" hahha, wrong country, lol. Also, the monarchy was only gone for a little bit, someone by the name of Napoleon? 😉
