One Thing, Three Ways: Marie-Antoinette’s Bedchamber at Versailles
It must have been nice to be Marie-Antoinette. Well, except for the inconvenience of the French Revolution and the beheading in Place de la Concorde. But before then, she had her own lovely bedchamber in the main palace at Versailles as well as her own estate on the property.
Here are three shots of her bedchamber in Versailles. (Plus a bonus shot.) Next trip, I’m going to check out her estate as that’s something I’ve not yet had a chance to experience.
Have you ever been to Versailles? What did you think of your experience?

Oh my gosh out of all your Paris shots this one made me gasp! I love history, especially that time period and that was so exciting to see 🙂 Thank you so much!!!
It was pretty cool being there, seeing her room, and hearing the history behind it all. Without the whole inconvenience of the revolution and beheading, Marie-Antoinette had a pretty easy life! 🙂
HAHAHA Yes it was kind of unfair how easy it was for her lol! But yes, a very interesting and sad story for sure
Love that you thought to shoot that keyhole 🙂
