Versaille

So you're Louis XVI and you promenade out of your castle.

Versaille1


You overlook your fountains, gardens and vast expanses of forest. A string quartet follows you wherever you go - along with Marie Antoinette.

Varsaille4


A servant runs up to inform you your people are starving. Glancing across at your vast amount of wealth you reply "Let them eat cake!"

Versaille3


Your people then revolt in the same manner as the revolution in America which you funded, cut off your head and turn your extravagant palace into a tourist attraction for the proletariat!

Pity.
