#22 - The palace of Versailles in a podcast

Versailles – the palace, the people, history and legends. The
extraordinary story of this mighty castle, built in a swamp on
the outskirts of Paris stars a heavyweight cast of royals and
played a key role in the destiny of France…

history. 

We talk about the people who lived here, the history of the
palace and the most fascinating facts about
