Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette King and Queen of France and Navarre lived in the Palace of Versailles/ Palais de Versailles between 1770 when they married and 1793 when they were both executed by the revolutioneries of the French Revolution 1789. How about king Louis XIV who built Versailles?
What is the cultural significance of the Palace of Versailles?
Versailles is a small village near Paris in France. It is famous for the enormous castle that Louis XIV (France's greatest King ever, also called the Sun King) had build there (also called Versailles) and made Versailles the capital of France. He wanted a different castle outside Paris (the former Royal residence was in the centre of Paris, the Tuilerie castle). 3 generations of Kings and Queens lived there, until the monarchy got destroyed during the the French revolution and the last King and Queen of France ever, Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, got killed. Especially Marie Antoinette made significant changes to the Versailles castle. She was the one that introduced bathrooms to the castle, which were highly unusual at that time (she liked to bath every day, when most people only bathed like once a month, tops! It was considered unhealthy to bath). She also decorated a lot of rooms beautifully and chose the furniture. Unfortunately, most of it got destroyed or stolen during the revolution. Today the castle is wonderfully restored and you can visit. It has an amazing historical value.
Why was Marie Antoinette against the french revolution?
At the time, the French people saw her not so much as a help to France, but as a menace. She did make significant, positive changes for France though, but they were recognized as such later, after she had died. She was the one that made Paris thé fashion capital in the world. She was the one that put Paris on the map of haute couture. Karl Lagerfeld, Christian Lacroix, Chanel, all the big designers still make clothing inspired by her. Also, she introduced the Croissant to France, making it the most famous sign of France, still today. She also ensured womens rights by showing (by her clothing and character) that a woman is someone to take account of and that there is more to a Queen than providing heirs to a throne.
Should Marie Antoinette have been killed?
Because the people of France never wanted her on the throne in the first place, as being foreign (she was Austrian). Also a lot of people were jealous of her and spread horrible gossips about her which were not true. They also ridiculed her terribly by terrorizing her about the fact that her mariage wasn't consumed (that happened about 7 years into the mariage because it is said that Louis XVI had to be circumcised due to a foreskin that was too tight to have intercourse), the way she spoke French (with an Austrian accent), the way she looked (she had a high forehead and an outspoken nose). She was surrounded by enemies all day every day and all she ever wanted was some friends. When she found those (Yolande de Polignac and the Princess de Lamballe), they accused her of favoring them too much by permitting them several privileges. Marie Antoinette gave more money to charities then any other queen of France had ever done. Though, all the French saw was a queen that dressed herself in costly outfits (although her spending on clothing was never more than any other queen before her) and decorated her Petit Trainon and Hameau de la Reine. Fact is, the revolution started long before Marie Antoinette came to France. All it needed to ignite it, was someone to blame it all on, and she came to France in 1769. Believe it or not, this it true.

What happen to the kids of Marie Antoinette?
Marie Antoinette had four children, two whom died in childhood. The surviving children, Louis Charles and Marie Therese Charlotte were imprisoned with their parents and after Louis XVI was executed Louis Charles was separated from his mother, sister and aunt and placed in a cell beneath theirs where they could hear his cries. He was proclaimed Louis XVII upon his fathers death and was brutally beaten by his jailers they plied him with wine and forced him to falsely testify against his mother during her trial, that she and his pious aunt had sexually abused him, he remained imprisoned until his death of tuberculosis in 1795. Many men claimed in the years that followed to be Louis Charles, although DNA tests in 2000 on the body on the boy buried in prison proved to be Marie Antoinette's son. Marie Therese Charlotte fled France after the revolution. She became the duchesse d'Angouleme and lived to old age to see the reign of her uncles Louis XVIII and Charles V. She died childless thus ending the direct line of Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI. Marie did not live in a house ever. As a princess and Queen, she was born at a palace in Vienna, Austria. She spent the next half of her life in the Palace of Versailles, France, which is open to tourists. You can find a map on Google. She lived in the Tulieries palace, also in France.

Why did Marie Antoinette have to speak to Madame Du Barry?
Madame Du Barry was the official mistress of Louis XV and therefore his little spoiled darling. Madame Du Barry wanted to be acknowledged at court, but nobody did. The only reason courtiers spoke to her was to please the King. Madame Du Barry wanted Marie Antoinette to speak to her desperately, but because Marie Antoinette (being the dauphine) was way higher in rank, it was not allowed for Madame Du Barry to speak to her first. She had to wait until Marie Antoinette would say a few words directed to her, before she was allowed to speak back. Marie Antoinette learned that Madame Du Barry had been a prostitute in previous years and was a provocative woman. Marie Antoinette found it hard to believe that such a woman with such a history and such behaviour was allowed at court, let alone be the King's mistress. Marie Antoinette's evil three aunts (the sisters of Louis XV) spurred her on not ever to speak word to her. Madame Du Barry complained, cried, and begged Louis XV to order Marie Antoinette to speak to her, but she kept refusing. Eventually, when Empress Maria Theresia (Marie Antoinette's mother) sent Marie Antoinette a very angry letter in which she harshly told her daughter how foolish she was to keep her mouth shut to the woman, she gave in. Her exact words eventually were: "there are many people today at Versailles" and she said it not directly looking at Madame Du Barry but standing next to her. That was all she would ever say to her. Madame Du Barry was pleased. Marie Antoinette later said "that woman will never again hear the sound of my voice". And she kept word.
How many kids did Marie Antoinette have?
No, none of Marie Antoinette's children ever had children of their own. Her daughter Marie Therese-Charlotte managed to get out of the prison she had been in with her parents and eventually married her cousin, but the marriage was childless. Her eldest son Louis Joseph died shortly before the revolution and was under the age of 10. Through DNA testing it was proven that the heart belonging to the orphan of the tempel belonged to somebody with Habsburg DNA. The only person fitting that description was her son Louis Charles who died at 10. Her daughter Sophie died as an infant about a year before the Revolution
