The young girl is quickly bored by the life at Versailles and often asks her husband to take her to the theatres and operas of Paris. Louis Auguste's grandfather Louis XV dies and the young man, more interested in making keyholes than in studying international politics, becomes then Louis the XVIth. Marie Antoinette spends a lot of money in jewels, furnitures and clothes and loses a lot of money by playing cards and roulette.
