Visited with the group the Chateau de Versailles including the amazing collection of personal effects but also wall size paintings of wars by the various kings and emperors who called Versailles home but also the grounds and the layout of the building including how Etiquette was founded: various levels of access and ways to engage the powers at the tine.
Simply amazing how the kings lived but yet worked to celebrate culture (music, performances, sculptures, architecture, and painting) and beauty (grounds are simply amazing). What was also interesting is how the castle survived the revolution (was not destroyed) and has been maintained by the cultural minister for the many generations to come.
