Coppola thrilled by Versailles freedom

Movie-maker Sofia Coppola was thrilled to be given the keys to the Palace of Versailles in France for the filming of Marie Antoinette because it meant she could shoot eerie scenes in the very rooms where they took place 220 years ago.

Certain restrictions were placed on the director and her crew, but she was allowed to film wherever she wanted, allowing her to shoot Marie Antoinette's wedding scenes in the chapel where the French queen wed Louis XVI.
