To give you an idea of what life was like in Versailles in these times, I thought I would post this vid from the movie Marie Antoinette starring Kirsten Dunst.
Well, if you have been following me for a while, you know I am big into researching the era's and places I write about so here are some pics of real life people and places that are referred to in my story. Luckily I worked in Paris for a little while a few (quite a few) years ago and visited Versailles the township for lunch with the people I worked with and who lived there. After a very long and rather alcoholic lunch they took us on a guided tour of the Palace gardens and the palace itself. It is utterly amazing...and beautiful.
The Palace:
 |
| The Theatre within the Palace |
 |
| The Folly in the gardens of Versailles |
A pic from the movie Marie-Antoinette to give you idea of the reception rooms and the fashions of the day:
Paintings of real people referred to:
 |
| Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette |
 |
| Marie-Antoinette in full court dress |
 |
| Marie-Antoinette with 3 of her children |
 |
| princesse de Lamballe, the Queen's best friend who met a terrible death in the hands of the mob |
 |
| Comte de Artois - The Kings brother and friend to the Queen |
I had so much fun writing this story, hope you enjoy reading it.
