You know how bored you can get when you are so wealthy that there's nothing to strive for? Me either. Marie Antoinette thought it would be cute to build an entire village where she could play at being a milkmaid. Go figure. It has been nicely preserved at Versailles, and the contrast between the palace there and this village is rather like the contrast between Mar-a-Lago and the average American home. Conspicuous consumption is one reason she lost her head.
