French environmental health

/kloc-the French royal family in the 0 th and 8 th centuries, when it comes to Versailles, we will subconsciously ignore all the brilliant scenes in front of us. But what is the truth? In fact, in the era of18th century, France also had something we didn't know. It is actually synonymous with dirty and smelly.

French perfume is world-famous and has a long history. Clean and beautiful girls put a drop or two on their necks and behind their ears before going out, just like icing on the cake, adding charm. However, the initial function of perfume is to cover up the unbearable body odor of French people who don't take a bath. This is something we didn't expect. In France at that time, most people were proud of not taking a bath. The more noble the royal family, the less able to take a bath. At most, they usually take a bath. In order to cover up their body odor, they try to wash their hands and faces every day, that's all. They think that bathing is not only meaningless to human body, but also harmful to health. The public bathroom is an excellent place for the spread of the virus.

When we visit Versailles, we will find that there is no public toilet here, and it is even more difficult for people to use it. This is of course not because members of the royal family don't need to go to the toilet, but because hundreds of years ago, the popular toilet facilities among them were actually? Toilet? . There is also a shortage of drinking water in Versailles, and the only water may also be used to remove odors. In this way, water resources that meet the drinking water standards can be said to be rare, and it is really difficult to live.

So in the18th century, the royal family was said to be excreted in the palace, especially because of the social environment in France at that time and the feudal thought in people's hearts. They lack water resources and think that bathing will harm their health. I have to say that they don't do very well in hygiene.
