Full Transcript:
Herve: My name is Herve and I'm giving the Prestige Tour in Versailles. Today we're going to be going behind the scenes.
Here we are in the nave of the Chapel Saint Louis inside the palace and as you see, we get to go in the nave, which is not the case for most people.
I love being a tour guide and specifically on the Prestige Tour, because I get to open the doors that we're not supposed to open.
We are in the bathroom of Marie Antoinette. How come there's a bed in the bathroom? For the reason that in those days, doctors would say that taking a bath would weaken your body, so after taking a bath, you had to lie down.
Now we arrive behind Marie Antoinette's bedroom. So Marie Antoinette fled through here, going from her bedroom to the Salon of the Bull's Eyes, and to the king's bedroom when the palace was attacked.
Louis XV was very well known for having many, many mistresses, but Madame de Pompadour is the main one. She was treated like she was a queen, even though she wasn't, and that's why she was hated.
Here we are in front of the Petit Trianon. The Petit Trianon is Marie Antoinette's estate. Queen Marie Antoinette used to say that when she was at Trianon, she was not the Queen, but she was herself.
This is the hamlet. The idea was to recreate a village of Normandy. It had to look very natural.
Man: We got into the background. That was just amazing. That's what makes it VIP, very special. I would give the tour a 10 out of 5.

Il fut un moment où rien ne se faisait sans élégance ni beauté... plus tard Hausmann à repris cette idée pour Paris que vous voyez aujourd'hui.
Would love to do a tour of Versailles like that as there is so much extra that you would get to see.
Wow. Thanks for posting.
Thank you T&D, I've never been and now feel I have some familiarity. Nicely filmed and very restful. Quite a contrast to the bustling Louvre (which we've just uploaded). All the best to you.

It's a very large area. I wonder how did they utilize the area of the nobles? Is it like an apartment as well? I mean during Louis XIV's time

That palace is now as it should have been in those times if it had toilets throughout the palace and bathrooms in every room of the palace.

Dear Jacinta, people were a bit shorter, that is true. But it is not the explanation. For centuries, in Europe, people used to sleep almost seated, not laying. That is why beds were like that. Little by little, the habit changed, till today.

Not totally true. There were public toilets in each aisle. Were they enough for such a crow ? Of course, not. But, you know, that was the same in every huge palace in Europe at that time. It was not only Versailles 🙂

No, No, No! I got the Privileged tour, I arrived dressed up in some jeans a sweater pulled up to the front of the palace , no lines, someone handed me Free ticket. Got to see the palace at my own leisure. As I walked the hall of mirrors , I felt ghost presence of Louis the 14.in the eerie 31 October , 2014 , Halloween.
Lovely! But it had no bathrooms. Whoops! Perhaps it was designed for people who didn't need them. Hmm...
I think its kind of morbid. Hey come check out the place where Marie ran for her life.

No wonder the common people starving in squalor kicked them off their golden throne.

Sorry but this is just a shallow ego trip- it would actually be interesting if you could see rooms not normally seen. To just see the somethings everybody does however with no one around isn't really that big of deal. Show us back rooms, attic rooms, kitchens, rooms which have not been restored, and all kinds of other things. This isn't really revealing anything special about Versailles, its just saying you're special because you paid more.
Enfaite y’a rien d’incroyable pour des français là dedans tout le monde le sait
Pillaged the environment for all of this tacky crap.
All about poor working people Taxpayers money.
Es una falta de respeto no traducir los vídeos!
At the end of the day most palaces are prisons only gilded ones.
