They Lived in the Most Beautiful Palace on Earth — and They Were MISERABLE
Versailles was not a palace — it was a machine for controlling the entire French aristocracy.

From the elaborate morning ceremony of the lever du roi to the stench of the hallways and the ruinous cost of court fashion, this is an immersive journey into the reality behind the world's most famous palace. Based on the memoirs of the Duc de Saint-Simon, the letters of the Duchess of Orléans, and other historical sources. #history #versailles #louisxiv #whatlifewaslike #frenchhistory
