Description
In powdered wigs, feathered tricorns and embroidered dresses, about 750 people - more than half of them foreigners - attend the 'Fetes Galantes' at the Palace of Versailles, an annual gathering of history, costume and baroque dance lovers. "We have a lot of fun," says one participant. Many of the regulars at the Venice carnival appreciate the authenticity of the French event, a purism that is partly explained by the high price of the tickets (between 170 and 595 euros).
