The Palace of Versailles reopens the private rooms of France's last queen.
abc.net.au/news/marie-antoinette-apartment-versailles-palace-reopens-public/102527764The Palace of Versailles has reopened the private rooms of France's last queen, Marie Antoinette, after five years of intricate restoration.
Marie Antoinette's apartment includes a boudoir, library and billiard room. She accessed the refuge through a secret door hidden in her official bedroom. "A sort of portrait of the place where all the traits of her personality come to the fore: her incredible audacity, her impatience, her exacting standards — she only wanted the best — her taste for always being up to date, a taste that can be very changeable," she says.
