Marie Antoinette: Queen of Versailles
Movie · Documentary

There are few women in history as renowned for glamour and decadence as Marie Antoinette, the French Queen, who is alleged to have fueled a Revolution with the immortal line “Let them eat cake.” However, as with many modern day news reports, there’s more to this story than first meets the eye. Delve more deeply into the enticing life and untimely death of Marie Antoinette and you’ll uncover a tale of style, fashion, intrigue and danger that would satisfy even the toughest celebrity magazine editor of the 21st Century. Step back in time to 18th Century France and visit the beautiful Palace of Versailles, where Marie Antoinette was sent, hardly into her teens, to be the bride of the future King Louis XVI. Follow in her delicate footsteps through the state apartments, the great Hall of Mirrors and the beautiful formal gardens of the Palace to the lesser known Petit Trianon and Peasant Village that Marie Antoinette created to leave her own indelible stamp on Versailles. Discover for yourself what really happened to the Austrian Princess who was dispatched to the French court as part of a peace treaty, to become one of the most famous members of her adopted country’s Royal Family. It may be a story that sadly lacks a happy ending, but Marie Antoinette - Queen of Versailles is still worthy of our attention, telling us of one woman’s remarkable courage when an entire nation turned against her.
