In the footsteps of Elisabeth Vigée Le Brun: visit to the Château de Versailles. The Château de Versailles, one of the most famous monuments in the world, needs no introduction. As part of our Femmes RegARTS programme, A2c is offering a tour inspired by Elisabeth Vigée Le Brun, Queen Marie-Antoinette's favourite portraitist. As you discover the gold of the palace, we will guide you through the works of this exceptional artist, who witnessed the major political upheavals triggered by the revolution of 1789.
