In 1789, nearly 1000 Parisians fed up with filthy living conditions, inequity and starvation, stormed the Bastille. It was brutal, it was bloody, and it was the breaking point for French Monarchy. Versailles didn't fall on Bastille Day, but it was the catalyst of the revolution. This palace was the symbol of everything the revolution pushed back against: gold-covered ceilings, grandiose traditions and purchases and a king who hadn't been to Paris in years. While Marie Antoinette played pretend in her secret village, the Parisians were starving and dying in the streets. Fed up with their circumstances, they decided enough was enough. Yes, the people sang. And no, they didn't eat cake. Ready to revolt against boring tours? Book your Versailles experience now and see where it all began. It's like Les Mis, but with less songs. | | | | |
