What he won’t understand is how this over the top excess brought down the French monarchy. When I visited Versailles, I really understood why the French Revolution happened. Opulent doesn’t even begin to describe it. There’s a little farm area where Marie Antoinette would go to play peasant. There was a little farm, a mill, so charming and delightful.
But it is a cautionary tale. The aftermath of that revolution wasn’t all that great either.
