jan 1, 1778 - Franklin visits Versailles

Description:

- This visit is ironic because he is surrounded by people who only think in the ancien regime way, whereas Franklin thinks with enlightened ideas
- Franklin is the embodiment of enlightenment ideas, therefore it is weird seeign him in the French court. It is even stranger seeing America and France, two opposing idealogies, forming an alliance.
