As a Canadian who lives next door to America - TRUST me, Monarchy, Constitutional Monarchy is the only form of Government which creates real equality for all people.

Thank you for this wonderful visit, a very precise and sobre description. Yes Versailles is a jewel and even in this detailed video not all is shown. Far from it. The clocks (Horloges) for instance is a topic in itself. The hidden passages (Passages secrets) is another one. The history of the water pumps and aqueduc bringing an enormous quantity of water, uphill using the river force. The water plays (les jeux d'eaux), etc. To some extent, Versailles is similar to the Violet Imperial City of Yongle 3rd of the Ming dynasty in Beijing: a city with a complete administration to rule over an entire country.

If you have not go to Chateau La Lande on You Tube. You can also go in person as it is a Bed and Breakfast as well.(been closed as Bed and Breakfast during Pandemic) It has a tie to King Louis the XVI He married Marie Antoinette and he asked someone from that Chateau La Lande to go to receive Marie when she arrived in France. The hx is given when you first go to the site on KZbin. They have been doing it over as there are so many rooms and Stephanie has lived ( and owned the home) there for fourteen years. It has had hundreds of years with Marquiets of France who lived in the home. It is an ongoing restoration and done with much love. It actually is very lovely. People volunteer and some work there and live her at the same time in their own areas. Just think you may well like seeing this video too? Although the Chateau of La Lande is not quite as exquisite as this one, yet it is very large and has many rooms and has been done over very well. It also has a small chapel on the property

These interior spaces are likely more enjoyable when experienced as they are in this film as opposed to the typical reality of borderline unbearable crowds and elbow to elbow slow moving groups. It's tough to experience frankly if you're not good with crowds and lack of exits. If I were to go back I'd simply just hop out to the back and enjoy the grounds again as they're the highlights imo. Grab one of the 30/hour golf carts and enjoy the grounds at your leisure.
