I actually really enjoyed this website because of it's easy navigaion and
beautiful layout. It included a great deal of historical landmarks and an
update on those landmarks, as well as beautiful portraits with a small
description of each. Again, learning a little history of France was fairly easy
to navigate through, and would definately recommend this site to anyone wanting
to know more.

Wiill use the slide shows in class- Western Perspaectives II. As this site demonstrates, visuals bring history to life. A great retrospective of the life and times of LouisXIV and his monument, Versailles.
