This world famous room is still used regularly
For functions and business gatherings
By the French government, and others
It's not mothballed like most of Windsor and Buckingham Palace
And with a greater historical significance
Being where the Treaty of Versailles was signed - ending WWI

This room is spectacular.

Versailles was taken by the commoners at the time of the Revolution
Churchill was ousted after winning WW2
May will go, despite a strong economy
The common factor
A failure to identify a very unhappy population

Actually.. I might be able to go. I look after someone at home who has been very ill, so havent been able to travel very far for a few years, but he has improved so much lately that it is looking like a proper holiday somewhere is possible soon.
