AP EURO (AP Modern European History)

Well in my AP EURO class we are having a salon (a gathering of intellectuals, rulers, artists, etc... discussng politics, government, military, life, anything really) well my role to play is King Louis XV, of France. I am so excited I have to dress up like that Time period the whole day because the salon is during the middle of the school day. It is going to be a very fun project to do. Hard part is finding the costume for the part of what he wore.

That is why it is so important because we never pay attention to so we just keep making the same mistakes over and over again so we have to pay attention so we don't make those mistakes again.

Especially if kings of France had to come back with their costumes

I'm an AP Euro as well, but to this point we haven't had to dress up like kings

. Then again, you seem to be a little bit further than us as we are only on Louis XIV so we shall see..

Kings of France are cool ! Or well... not so much the kings but their "homes" ! Versailles for example !

Heh, yeah, pulling of a European monarch's costume is far from easy.

Here are a couple of reference pictures from our old friend Wikipedia:

You have to remember Versailles was built in order to distract the nobels because they were interfering with the absolutism of the monarchy

Pssh! Versailles is for chumps. A castle should be built like a fortress, not some namby-pamby palace.
