versailles....

ok, so i walked on the treadmill this morning watching marie antoinette.......a delightful choice given our recent visit......made more amusing by the visible errors made when style and visual presentation took precidence over reality......for example......when marie's carriage drives up to versailles for the first time....it comes from the west rather than the east..with versailles in the background beyond the grand canal..which is unlikely given that she was coming from austria, in the east......looked great on screen, though......and in the scene where she is running back to her room after her sister-in-law delivers a son......she runs down a corridor lined with statues that leads away, not toward her suite of rooms.....again, looked great on screen.........i walked only 2 miles....quite a departure from my paris mileage...but then my aging body is still recovering from that trip.....might just dedicate this entire weekend to rest and relaxation......lots of paris-based movies i could watch........
