. You can also find it at: https://artsandculture.google.com/project/versailles if the link does not work. If you hit control and push your mouse up or down, you can see the ceilings and floors. You must scroll all the way down to the part that says “I woke up like this” to see the tour rooms. Keep scrolling. There are more than just the King’s and Queen’s bedchambers.

Instructions

comment on TWO of the rooms or outdoor scenes and tell me something you found interesting about the architecture or decoration and how they reflect Absolutism in architecture. Make sure you tell me what room you are making each comment about.

THEN, think back to the reading from Machiavelli’s The Prince in the last module. Do you think Louis wanted to be loved, to be feared, or a little bit of both? Be sure to explain your choice.
