      Awesome 👍 glad it wasn't destroyed by war or anything else I'm glad people get to enjoy that era of life. Toilet 🚽 couldn't imagine 💩 poopies in that type of toilet butt never know until you have to go 😂

      There's a mistake in the video. They say "Louis XV had another passion, chemistry" and proceed to show a 1780 laboratory, but at that time the ruling monarch was his grandson Louis XVI, who was crowned in 1774
