As someone wrote before: I couldn't sleep here, either. :-) Too many patterns, to much shining gold, high ceiling and so forth. It looks beautiful and intimidating, great artwork, no question - but I could never relax here. Thnk you so much for sharing.
thanks for showing the view too, a lot of people seemed to missed it, but imagine to sleep here and wake up to the view every morning must be quite nice! :))
I love how some are saying oh i could never sleep here. I could! Back in the day, it was either this idea or a tiny room that probably stunk like the fish market
Thank you for sharing !!! The gold gilded mirror is one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen in a long time, would love to experience that room in person
Thanks a million for showing us this Len. The only time Ive seen her room is in the film Marie Antoinette, the modern version and it is was either shot at the Palace or they made a supreme job of copying it for the film. It is sumptuous isnt it. Imagine it in its day with lots of people around that bed, watching the birth of her children. Doesnt bear thinking about. Enjoy the rest of your trip and video something else for us if you have time. Much love x
Could never sleep in a place like that. I love my little cottage with a cosy bed and a beautiful view in the morning. Drift off for the night to the sound of owls and wake in the morning to song birds. That is heaven on earth.
Wow wow wow absolutely stunning Len love, Marie Antoinette certainly loved luxurious beautiful things, have an amazing trip with Megan, tfs sweetheart huge hugs x Julie
You can't tell but the beds are short. The Queen slept sitting up the only time that they would be lying down is when they were dead. The door you can see was coverup with tapestry back then. I had been in that room.
I've always wanted to go to Paris, and especially Versailles. I have read a lot of books about it the Sun King featured in a lot of them!!;) Hope you had/have a lovely time xxx
The stools at the end of her bed must have been for higher ranking ladies in waiting. I know the etiquette was so strict only certain people could sit on stools, only certain ranks could have a folding chair with no back to it and I think only royalty could have a chair with a back on it..
She liked luxury like every other queens. But at the same time she also wanted to live more like a simple woman, away from the court, with more simple clothes and she was blamed for that and required to dress like a real queen
We were taught that the bedroom of the king and queen, including the furniture, was vandalized during the revolution. I am curious as to know if those furnishings are original?
To be honest, I do not know. On the audio I listened while walking through Versailles they did not say they were replicas. It might say at the Versailles website.
Beautiful, Is It Furnished All The Way Through The Palace ? Some One A Long Time Ago Said There Was No Furniture In It Just Empty Rooms, Never Been To Paris Would Love To Go One Day !!! Enjoy Your Time With Your Daughter Hugs Lynn X
Just for your information,... the son of King Louis XVI was taken out of the prison and a dead boy was put in his place..the descendant of king Louis son is alive at present. According to many catholic prophecies when France becomes dire ,this descendant who is called Henry of the Cross will arrive in Paris and will take his place as the new King. Together what's left of the army they will fight against the Muslims and push them beyond the Rhine . Between him and a holy pope,Christianity will flourish again in Europe and England will once again become catholic.
It probably isn’t in perfect condition when you get up close I think. Plus I guess they keep the condition in the rooms as perfect as they can for preservation, but I’m not an expert on that. Interesting though, perhaps you can Google on it, to find out more on how they do this.
Just for your information...when a group of starving people arrived at the palace,Marie Antoinette was informed about them,she went to meet them and asked the kitchen staff to bring all the cakes from the kitchen and give them to these starving people. She was a great catholic despite the anti catholic bigotry that's being said about her up until this day. Get to the real truth.
Marie Antoinette would have referred to this as her "summer furnishings". She was evil in that craftsmen, decorators and carpenters would work frantically in intensive labor away from their families for weeks to assemble a room then she'd walk in after it was finished and say, "I don't like it". Many women today are still like this.
She was not like this at all. She was a kind woman who gave to charities and liked to wear simple clothes, but was obligated to live a lavish life because of her high rank.
And there are no men like that? At least today, people are compensated for their labor for the most part and not in fear of being executed if they do not please. Madame changes her mind? Job security.
Back in the day, they sure had the most ornate furnishings, didn’t they! Loved seeing this too!🤗👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👩❤️👩

Thanks for your comment. I prefer a smaller cosy bedroom too. You get lost in this one. 😉😁
Good news : you will never have the opportunity to sleep in a royal bed. Stay in your play Mobil houses!
🤣so true
I already am, since I’m a daughter of the most high King 😉😁
thanks for showing the view too, a lot of people seemed to missed it, but imagine to sleep here and wake up to the view every morning must be quite nice! :))
You’re welcome. Indeed that must have been a wonderful view to see first thing every day. 😊
I love how some are saying oh i could never sleep here. I could! Back in the day, it was either this idea or a tiny room that probably stunk like the fish market
You’re totally right! 😊
Believe me this one stunk too. The hygiene in Versailles was a joke.
Beautiful! Thanks for letting us travel along with you!
Thank you for sharing !!! The gold gilded mirror is one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen in a long time, would love to experience that room in person
Thank you. It certainly is a stunning room.
Super excited to see this Lynn! Thanks for sharing! Look at all the gorgeous details and colors! Have Fun!! xo
I could definitely live there.

I totally agree! Sounds like you live in a beautiful spot. By the sound of it I’ld rather live in your cottage than in this palace too 😉😁
It's a ceremonial room: the king and queen also had private, more intimate apartments within Versailles.
Its how i imagine heaven looks like
Wow wow wow absolutely stunning Len love, Marie Antoinette certainly loved luxurious beautiful things, have an amazing trip with Megan, tfs sweetheart huge hugs x Julie

Thanks for that info. Didn’t know she slept sitting up.

Beautiful Lenneke. I have never been in Versailles. So thank you for showing this. Have a great time with Megan. Tfs Hugs xxx Sonja
Dear Len, thanks for sharing. Sooo beautiful, Wish you a wonderful time. Big hugs Beate
I wanna make a marie antoinette inspired bedroom with Dark romantic influence❤
The stools at the end of her bed must have been for higher ranking ladies in waiting. I know the etiquette was so strict only certain people could sit on stools, only certain ranks could have a folding chair with no back to it and I think only royalty could have a chair with a back on it..
It is interesting, isn’t it, to see how things went in other ages. Thanks for the info.
Beautiful, thank you for sharing! Hugs
Wow stunning thanks for sharing ❤️
You’re very welcome!
❤ beautiful home
Oh i have being there a long time ago. I loved it. tfs have fun hugs xxx
Stunning! She sure liked her gold! Lol! Tfs my friend. Looks like you're enjoying your visit. How lovely. 😊 Blessings and say Hello to Megan for me.

She never slept in this room it was a set piece to act out the elaborate court rituals.
Interesting, where did you find that information? I’ld love to read about it.
I miss the Monarchy of France so much.
The Kingdom.

Me e encantaría poder leer esos libro sobre Versalles en español . Soy un ferviente admirador de la cultura francesa. Oscar Bonelli
Muy bien! Que Dios te bendiga en 2024 🎉
Great that they allow to make videos inside. How much in advance did you book the guided tour? Thanks for making the video.
Was this on a regular tour or do you have to go on a guided tour to see this?
This was an audio tour. You can get a device with earphones when you get there and then you can do the tour at your own pace, which is excellent.
So rich! I am sure more so in person. Thanks
where does that secret door lead?
Not sure, but it’s the way they escaped. I guess some secret hallways.
@@lenscraftylife ohh i see, thank youu
Without TV and air conditioner
Exactly!
This bedroom cost a head now thanks
If it’s was in the 18th century why is it in perfect condition
It probably isn’t in perfect condition when you get up close I think. Plus I guess they keep the condition in the rooms as perfect as they can for preservation, but I’m not an expert on that. Interesting though, perhaps you can Google on it, to find out more on how they do this.
Plus they did a lot of restoration I guess.
Wasnt it destroyed during the Revolution?
Apparently not 😉
Versailles is not in Paris. It's in....Versailles. Separate city.
That’s right. I say ‘near Paris’, but since I’m talking through a mask, it’s hard to hear.
Marie therese died in austria fyi
A gilded cage.
True unfortunately…
Always in front of an audience, people watching, plotting, envying, the expectations etc.
Let them eat cake.
Just for your information...when a group of starving people arrived at the palace,Marie Antoinette was informed about them,she went to meet them and asked the kitchen staff to bring all the cakes from the kitchen and give them to these starving people. She was a great catholic despite the anti catholic bigotry that's being said about her up until this day. Get to the real truth.
Sentence that she never said. And she was much more concerned by the people than what the school books teach...
Sad
Marie Antoinette would have referred to this as her "summer furnishings". She was evil in that craftsmen, decorators and carpenters would work frantically in intensive labor away from their families for weeks to assemble a room then she'd walk in after it was finished and say, "I don't like it".

nope can not hear mumbles through a mask
Too much for me.
