Introduction

Sophie, age 5, loves hearing about battles and chopping off heads. This year we went to France and learned a little bit about the French Revolution. Can you tell me about it please? 200 years ago, the King in France lived in an amazing palace called Versailles. It had long corridors lined with gold and beautiful gardens where all the hedges were perfectly cut into shapes. The King of France was called Louis because all French King's names are called Louis.
