Fraternite, egalite, liberte

Visiting Versailles made me understand the French revolution more. The over the top opulence was a little shocking to me. Huge rooms with huge murals equating the reigns of these French kings with classical gods illustrated to me their aspirations to deity. Can't blame the revolutionaries I am afraid I wold have been knitting in the square.
