      Yes. The building of Versailles put France into debt from which it never recovered. And the silliness of the culture of hierarchy and manners is something we still laugh about.

What a lovely and spellbinding and made . Super ch elegance and timeless beauty . I can’t even imagine the amount of money back then this cost , must have been staggering

    I was just a Versailles a couple of weeks ago. They're really sprucing it (and all of Paris) up for the Olympics. I had been there once before, so this time I went out to the Petit Trianon.

    I quite prefer the King’s design style in his personal chambers over the Queen’s now that I see it. I’m not sure why they made the wallpapers in her bedroom with that pink rose pattern, but it looks far too busy next to the gold baroque crown moldings in the room already.

    Was the courtyard of the stags an arranged hunting area for kings? Furniture of the gods and Minerva the owl? Life was ruled by etiquette? I bet it was very stressful and tense in and around the royal residence. Was it a gilded golden prison for those of the bloodline actually making them miserable?

    For the longest time I have been asking myself 🤔
    What made the people of France to start a new revolution to the extent that it abandoned Kingdom of the Country. It is clear that Kings of France was a menace to society, having the pain staking process of being extolled morning, everyday, high handedness and vainglorious day to day strict standards, this and who knows what was enough a cause-except Russian Federation which seems more humane and kind to subjects.
