Activitate Versailles, France
Explore the Palace of Versailles with royal historian James. Beyond standard plaques, uncover the ruthless politics, theater, and illusions of royal power.
Highlights:
Weaponized Etiquette: How dressing rituals, stool privileges, and forced gambling bankrupted nobles and secured total royal obedience.
Persecution & Absolutism: Discover the brutal cost of the Sun King’s dogma—revoking the Edict of Nantes, violently persecuting Huguenot Protestants, and driving hundreds of thousands into exile.
The American Gamble: Unpack the 1778 Treaty of Alliance, where French royal funds and military power backed the birth of the United States—ironically accelerating the crown's own financial ruin.
The Royal Escape Route: Retrace Marie Antoinette’s dash through hidden passages as armed revolutionaries breached the gates in 1789.
The Dining Spectacle: See how the Grand Couvert turned an ordinary dinner into public theater under the silent gaze of staring crowds.
