According To Dailymail
As a consistent agitator of the establishment, the last place you'd expect Kanye West to have an affinity with is a building which still stands as the most ostentatious symbol of pre-revolutionary France.
But is seems that the author of the brave and questioning Black Slaves is prepared to overlook a history of shocking inequality to use France's Palace of Versailles as his wedding venue.
The 36-year-old and his fiancee Kim Kardashian, 33, have set their sights on the epic building according to Us Weekly, and apparently they're 'not working with a budget.'
This is fitting, as the Palace of Versailles was not built with a budget despite the fact that ordinary French men, women and children were starving at the time... and we all know how that ended up. The sprawling estate, that was erected in a rural location but now forms part of a wealthy suburb of Paris, was famously the home of Louis XVI and his wife Marie Antoinette.
The latter is of course famous for suggesting 'let them eat cake' when she was told her subjects were dying of hunger because they had no bread.
It would be churlish to imagine something as idiotic coming from Queen Kim's mouth though her grip on reality is quite probably just as tenuous.
