Simon Weil, Head of Individuals at UK law firm, Bircham Dyson Bell plans a Versailles musical event for 2010

Simon Weil, who was recently spotted bidding several thousand pounds for a holiday at an FF&P charitable event for Room to Read, is planning his own charitable extravaganza at Versailles in 2010 with the aim to give proceeds to a charity nominated by the overall sponsor of the event, who is yet to be secured. Simon says of his plan “It will be La Douceur de Vivre, Versailles on Monday 31 May 2010. The event will include a performance of Handel's Acis and Galatea in the Gabriel Theatre, which was built in 1770 for the marriage of Marie Antoinette to the Dauphin, the future Louis XVI. This will be followed by a promenade through the state rooms with dinner and dancing in the Orangerie.” The theatre will be open after a prolonged period of restoration enabling attendees to see it as Marie Antoinette herself saw it in 1770. Eighteenth century dress is encouraged so that everyone attending may experience the chateau as it was before the Revolution.  For any information contact Simon on
