1. Versailles was covered in gold. Why was silver chosen?

2. Absinthe didn’t make it to France until almost 10 years after the French Revolution. (Hint: Marie Antoinette was already dead.)

3. Macaroons and macarons are not the same thing.

4. I find it interesting that Xenia went with a lavender when, in the numerous paintings that exist of Marie Antoinette, there are hardly any purples. She is, however, wearing pale blues in a majority of them.

Surprise, Xenia failed to do any research. Again.
