Can you tell us your favorite anecdote?
Marie-Antoinette was the first queen to become the owner of a royal residence.
When Louis the XVI handed her over the keys, he told her:”I know you like flowers, but let me give you this bouquet”. The bouquet was actually a set of keys decorated with 350 diamants…
What is your favorite place in Versailles?
My favorite place in the gardens of Versailles is the ballroom groove. The ballroom used to be an enclosed garden where the king and the courtiers enjoyed dancing in the ‘”marble island ” in the centre of the groove.
Nowadays, On summer Tuesdays and week-ends, one can enter into the ballroom and watch the magnifient fountain show : water pouring down in a cascade over the seashells brought back from the Indian Ocean under king Louis XIV.
I could stay hours admiring the waterfalls, while listening to LuLli music in the background.
It lift me out of the ordinary … just love it
