My husband saw that show, too. He found it very disturbing. So very, very 
sad.  We have definitely decided not to visit Versailles this year.  I would 
imagine in the spring they are doing quite a bit of restoration work.  Storms 
are a part of nature, but so is the human spirit that works to rebuild what 
was lost.  So, we will let nature take her course for a few years.  --Janis
