About the Program

Marie Antoinette

Marie Antoinette is just a teenager when she leaves Austria to marry the Dauphin of France. At
Versailles, under the complex rules of the French court, she suffers from not being able to live her life
the way she wants, under pressure to continue the Bourbon line and secure the Franco-Austrian
alliance.
