Marie Antoinette's garden of Versailles looks again as it was in 1776

Description

Versailles (France), Jun 5 (EFE).- (Camera: Mario García Sánchez) Ten years after its promise, the Palace of Versailles has kept the word given to the French and to the memory of Marie Antoinette: the Forest of the Queen has been restored in the image and likeness of how it was in 1776, when Louis XVI's wife had it built to walk around without being disturbed.FOOTAGE OF THE PALACE OF VERSAILLES, FRANCESOUNDBITES BY CURATOR VERONIQUE CIAMPINI and PRESIDENT CATHERINE PÉGARDTRANSLATIONCIAMPINI"In Versailles we are fortunate to have a lot of documentation that we can consult '" in situ "or in the national archives. We had the plans, we had the list of plants, plant inventories, all the notebooks that the gardeners kept ...""The great news is that we will have many colors, especially colors that Marie Antoinette liked a lot. We are going to see some whites, some pinks ... It was her favorite palette.""We were lucky to be able to preserve a large part of the vegetation cover that existed before the restoration works, which makes us have all these little winding alleys that are surprising."PÉGARD"Many trees, especially tulips, have come from the United States, specifically from the State of Virginia""This forest represents all the interest that there was in the 18th century for botany, for perfumes and for fashion."

Twitter Responds To $600 COVID-19 Stimulus Checks: 'Let Them Eat Cake'

At long last, a new coronavirus stimulus package is finally set to be passed by the US Congress. The last one expired at the end of July. Business Insider reports the long-awaited package will reportedly contain $600 stimulus checks and an extra $300 in weekly unemployment benefits. While the House has passed multiple bills that would have offered more to Americans, the GOP-controlled Senate has balked until now. However, the deal hasn't been well-received in the Twitterverse, and has produced references to class warfare and revolution. 'Let them eat cake' trended on Twitter in response to the apparently inadequate $600 stimulus check. It's a famous utterance attributed to Marie Antoinette, representing the out-of-touch monied, ruling class overthrown in the French Revolution.
