<p>[QUOTE="lizjewel, post: 2036528, member: 13874"]The book "L'Envers de Versailles" describes the not-so-well known sides of the palace of Versailles, the "reverse". Among those was the fact that in the entire palace there were no 'loos. Potties were the order of the day, and minions saw to them. If some other European palatial digs had 'loos installed, it was considered extremely <i>moderne</i> for the times, whatever those times were. You're all welcome to look it up should you so desire. Personally I'll move on too <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie59" alt=":kiss:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
