The videos of Versailles

Dior has a promotional video (read: ad) set entirely with the Palace and Gardens of Versailles that does an good job of emphasizing the extreme decadence of the place. After watching their "Secret Garden" video, you may need to cleanse your palate, so I offer this 1961 educational film showing Versailles through a blurrier and less extravagant lens.
