They are all filled with rude Chinese tourist now, it's not pleasant.

@@Pfsif EXACTLY!!! it shouldn't be opened to those peasants ugh

Angelica M - I didn’t want it to end either! I 100% agree to wanting to hear more of all those stories.

Angelica M OMGGGG ME TOO!!!! LETS GO VISIT THEM!!!😁

Me too male me dream please more video

LeAnn , me as well. Ahhhh, I and most persons have a better chance at becoming a celebrity. So many variables to overcome! Soooo much money and school and related travel expenses. Until someone finds you worthy to spend thier money on. But, we can dream...and watch documentaries. Cheers.

mine would be to be a royal mistress.

think knot Am I missing something here? Why is being an art historian so unachievable? Where I come from that’s far more realistic and attainable than becoming a celebrity. 😂

omg I was dreaming about the same thing here while watching it haha

Courtshannon me too😁

I had dinner an event 2 years ago, next to the Count of the Palace where the series "Versailles" was filmed. He had grown up there, and we went through a few of the rooms that are supposed to be the Palace in the show (but I recognized it as familiar right away). At dinner I kept saying the same thing! He just recalls growing up and running through the rooms... and now he just works hard trying to sell the place for functions (quite a few famous ppl have married there). At the end of the day, we all need to work!

That Palace is surely beautiful but people in that palace were straight out of the hell.

@@Ghost-vg6iq I'm binge watching Versailles on Netflix and you're right!

My Family owns a few of those, and it was amazing as a kind to running around and play hide and seek with other siblings and cousins.

@@msg4141 You know that show isn't accurate, right?

Impress UrbanDivinity that doesn't legitimize concunbines as right moral behavior. You're married.

Why ?..........You can't place contemporary mores onto history.

Consrignrant but if the queen did it they would be all up and arms. Here are other thing: back then the woman had to marry their rapist. At one point in history, white families in the south would gather and sit down to watch black ppl get hanged. It wasn't seen as bad but it is bad.

Consrignrant Morality has no definite period of time. Morality is morality.

Dane Mitch Only a person with no sense of history would say that.

That makes two of us - I don't think a lifetime would be enough to study and appreciate every detail in that incredible palace !!!!

There is a room at the Getty Villa in California, Los Angeles which you can visit!

Geoffrey Pédebidau LOL I was like wtf!

Versailles is suburb of paris

Quite! It's like saying Windsor Castle is in London.

And it was originally a swamp!

calme toi. on s'en fout.

Is that what this is from?

no

Yes, it was really well done, agree with you completely and sexy to boot !!!!!

Chai Latte , I thought it was well done as well. I watched all the episodes on an insomnia binge!

I watched that too it was SO interesting. The whole French revolution.

The sexual relationship between Pompadour and Louis lasted, according to historians, almost 5 years. But the Marquise herself would point out how frigid she was, so they stayed very close friends for over 20 years, and she managed to keep the title of maîtresse-en-titre. On Madame du Barry, she was actually quite clever. Of course her level of culture wasn’t exactly a match for the nobles who were born surronded by teachers and books, but she did have some wit. Coming from street prostitution, she was educated by a mistress of her mother’s lover. And although she didn’t have infinite culture, she did have a good taste - very different from Marie Antoniette’s, but still good - and was very kind and charitable.

@@guilhermedeb.1347 how do u know all this stuff?

from reading! There are lots of books and biographies about this fascinating period of time

Interesting that both Official Mistresses were common born & Louis XV had to give them titles so they could appear at Court. Both were Much better Educated & Cultured than titled jealous Versailles woman who wanted to be the King’s Official Mistress. Yes, all writers and observers at the time Agree that Madame DuBarry was the most Beautiful Woman in 18th century France according to observers & writers (including her friend Voltaire) *Plus she was know for her Kindness to all, and after she was made Official Mistress- the First thing she did was throw herself to LouisXV’s feet unless he commuted (which he never could be talked into) the death penalty of 2 elderly people

@@guilhermedeb.1347 Actually DuBarry & Pompadour had Excellent Education & Culture - much better than most titled women at Versailles .

Imagine the rules and regulations that go with the job.Probably isolated to just your area of expertise.

Avakin Alessia I didn’t mean then I meant now! As a museum curator or something! I do NOT want to be exposed to that level of human excrement.

Maria Alessia von Navarra seriously is that all you think of after watching one documentary,you idiot!?That was hundreds of years ago😂obviously they clean it everyday😆now it became tourists attraction place..

There are tours to these rooms. They don’t happen very often and are a little bit more expensive than the regular ticket, but it is definitely worth it! The groups have usually no more then 10 people. These appartements are EXTREMELY small if you consider the amount of tourists and visitors Versailles receives everyday, so it’s comprehensible that they’re not open to the big public.

There are tons of rooms which aren't furnished either. All of the furniture was auctioned off during the French revolution and since then the government has tried to get it back or to recreate it as it would have been. For this there is a ton historical research to make it as close as possible, there's a documentary here on KZfaq about restorers that use the same manufacturing techniques as those from the 18th century. The process is very time consuming.

English tours were discontinued for lack of interest, but they do offer them in French!

It 100 percent would not be as interesting if you didnt have a guide...and most people do not. It would just be a series of small lightly decorated rooms as ooposed to the grand rooms of the king and queen, the grand trianon etc...

what's the name of this video? :) @@SweetJeopardy

😂

Pajama Feet 😀😀😀

You won’t have to clean it if you are king’s mistress….ha ha…😊

😂

savolrat very small though! Too small and cramped

Melissa Ockey 💁🏼‍♀️depends on which position you try lol 😂

I read somewhere that at certain time periods it was common to sleep propped up because they thought lying down was a bit like "imitating death"

People back then were shorter too

@@nicole_beaumont😂😂😂😂😂

Doctor Who

I will add it to my reading list.

@@Petitedelight87K Yeah, I loved his accurate portrayal of life at Versailles. You really get the feel of what it was like to live there, and he was so detailed at analyzing people's personalities and motivations. A valuable skill for someone in his position. Another one I really enjoyed Petite was the book of collected "Letters From Lisalotte." Princess Charlotte was married to Louis XIV's bisexual brother and wrote literally thousands of letters about life at Versailles. She had a lot of power, but she was not very popular and felt an outsider at court. She poured out her feelings in letter after letter, many to her aunt, who was the mother of George I of England. When I read them I felt like I got to know her personally, almost like she was writing them recently, but of course it was many hundreds of years ago. I'll tell you, both those books I felt immersed in and was sorry to see them end.

@@RoberttAvro ty for this! I just finished Versailles the show again and started researching more about it now im getting these books on my list

His father was elevated to the dukedom by Louis XIII.

Ruchika Naik people used to seep half sitting up.

These women were very petite. Pompadour was under 5' tall

People need to learn that there's a lot of body shapes between "rail thin" and "modern American overweight". Look at paintings of the Good Madam de Pompadour, she wasn't overweight, otherwise those corsets would have been impossible.

Ruchika Naik ikr I always wondered why the bed had to be so small. It's looks like a chair too me

At the time people slept sitting up, because laying down was the position of death, and it was believed if you slept laying down you would die in your sleep, Even the king's bed, though it was wide all beds were quite short

Seems strange they liked things so fancy and then had dirty habits

Yeah, with those extravagant luxury stuff and lifestyle, hundreds maids and servants, I thought they were super clean and all.

@@lindahollander3588 It was a different time, different beliefs. And don't fool yourself, hygiene as we know it is rather recent. After the 2nd world war in Europe some family still didn't have running water and they were bathing only once a week. The entire family in the same bucket. (Not together)

@@booliev3275 your telling me! Thats how I grew up,we were sooo poor ,my husband too, and we worked hard and bettered ourselves

@@lindahollander3588 royalty pooped or peed in dark Corners of rooms. The smell of the rooms during the “long nights” and don’t forget morning breaths all were common smells of the palace.

Roxy Van Ruiten, beautiful ,but wish they would have helped the poor more,talk about out of touch

Kewl Ken I like the palace of versaille, but that is why Marie Antoinette lost her head,she didn't notice the poor was suffering,we should all help the poor, it's ok to to have nice things if u share with those less fortunate

Kewl Ken I don't think anyone should die,they just killed Marie Antoinette for the misunderstanding,I think she cared about the poor but she didn't realize their plight,being insulated in Versailles she didn't know what it was like to b poor, I think she must have been a good person and she was misunderstood in the poor society, plus I bet the poor got jealous when they heard false rumours how she spent money

You don't have to help the poor you should want to,because you care, to those who r given much ,much is expected

Enriched on the backs of the poor

I just learnt that back then many would sleep in sitting because "only the dead lie down"

Autumn Bottoms it may have been a blessing and a curse for her since Versailles, as beautiful as it is, could be a toxic environment

She was not happy there. Austrian court was very different.

It's said that Madam Tussaud's wax figure "Sleeping Beauty" was modeled after Madame du Barry.

Mine Too ! 🌹

la plus belle et issue du peuple!

Madame Du Barry was sent away for instance because the bishop could not hear the king’s confession and absolve him before dying. It doesn’t mean it was “ok” he has to follow the rules technically like everyone else.

Louis XV actually married Marie Lecszynska, daughter of the former King of Poland (later Duke of Lorraine) not the daughter of the King of Spain.

wow you should not embarrass yourself in public with your history knowledge lol... He married the Daughter of the Ex King of Poland Maria Leszinska !!! his Grandfather Louis the sun king married the spanish Infanta

BTW Frances state religion is still Catholicism :-))

Maria Farrell It’s also very strange because Louis was extremely religious and called himself ‘very Christian.’ He always prayed. Yet he really liked adultery.

It was only Pompadour he didn't have sex with. She didn't really like sex so she instead supplied the king with lots of women. There was a place a house I don't recall the name that had some of the women who were mistresses. They were found for him. The children he had with them or at least with some of them got the last name Aimé. I think Madame Du Barry really loved him and she was a kind person. After his death she would help the people in the village where she lived. She got a new lover and he was killed very brutally and his head thrown into her garden or house. The King got plenty of sex believe me:)

MissWitchiepoo He sure did! Didn't he die of Syphilis or some other STD?

No he didn't. He died from I think you call it the smallpox in English. So when he died he looked awful full of puss all over and he smelled awful too and he was all blackened very sad when you think of it he was a handsome man. Henry the 8th some say died of Syphilis but you know how it is a lot of people a lot of opinions:) I don't think we should envy a lot of these Kings as they had their problems. I remember reading Louis the 14th had this problem in his mouth (I don't know the names in English for deceases I'm afraid) and it had puss in it I think it was like a hole and he as I remembered it stank out of his mouth. It must have been very painful. If you like to read you should read about the death of Axel Von Fersen the so called by some lover of Marie Antoinette. He died in a horrific way. There is a great documentary about him but it is Swedish and this guy tells the story so you feel that you are there watching:) I haven't read any books about Royalty in years as I started genealogy and found my own ancestors were much more interesting because they were MY family and showed the history of the kind of people they didn't write much about through history while others were well known and made me want to know more:)

miss witch idol

You didn't listen carefully. For a while they had a romantic relationship-but later began the king's friend, advisor

I imagine the same thing as well. But only if the monarchy treated all of their citizens fairly, not just the aristocracy..it’s so important to remember that the French people were literally starving back then for so long 😢 and the monarchy just didn’t seem concerned about their terrible situation. They were raised to believe they were more important and never thought about the “lower classes”. That’s not fair. I’ve lived good and I’ve lost it all too. I know what it’s like to be in need and lucky in our time we can get help, but back then nobody cared. I totally understand their revolt, it had to happen after being hungry n ignored for so long, they had enough..the brutality went way overboard though 😮

Thanks.
