“ Upkeep of centuries-old buildings is an enormous drain for European institutions like the Château de Versailles, which is developing hotels and seeking to license its name for luxury watches and other products. Last month it opened an online boutique with offerings including a gold-and-ivory porcelain Marie Antoinette soup tureen and “Let Them Eat Cake” coconut candles. ”
