THE MANIFESTO IS MUTATING!  IT IS TURNING INTO A WIKI THAT CAN BECOME THE HIVE MIND OF ALL COSTUMERS, FINALLY LIVING UP TO IT'S SLOGAN: "COSTUMERS OF THE WORLD, UNITE!" YOU CAN HELP IN THIS PROCESS BY MOVING PAGES TO THE NEW SITE AT THECOSTUMERSMANIFESTO.COM, HELPING TO EDIT THE PAGES THAT ARE THERE ALREADY, AND ADDING YOUR OWN ORIGINAL INPUT.

Day 11: Chateau de Versailles 17th & 18th Century Art in the Museum of the History of France

Take the suburban train out to the Chateau de Versailles, the former palace of the French monarchy, originally built by Louis XIV to be grander than all preceding palaces, and tour the interior, the gardens, and Marie Antoinette’s Petit Trianon "farm". On Sundays in Summer the elaborate 18th Century system of fountains play, and you can see the gardens as they were seen by Sunday tourists, courtiers, and royals almost three centuries ago. Evening free.
