Trump will be there; I suggest a tour. The Secret Royal Dungeons of Versailles: An Unknown Place of Detention

Behind the dazzling and sumptuous façade of the Palace of Versailles , it is rumored that a network of secret royal dungeons lies beneath the foundations of the palace. These cells, hidden in the depths of the castle, are said to have been used to discreetly imprison the king's political enemies , far from the eyes of the court and visitors.

The royal dungeons were not ordinary prisons. Prisoners of the crown , often members of the nobility or influential figures, were held there discreetly, without public trial. They could disappear from the political scene without a trace, because imprisonment in these hidden places was often not revealed to their relatives or allies.

Tales of hidden dungeons have been fueled by rumors and testimonies over the centuries. It is difficult to know exactly how many people were imprisoned in these secret cells. It is said that certain political enemies or troublesome figures of the court were locked in these damp cells, forgotten beneath the palace.

These legends speak of underground passages, tunnels and dark rooms that remain inaccessible to visitors today. For some historians, these secret dungeons played a role in the management of political intrigues, allowing the king to control his opponents without causing public scandals.

Nazi war criminal Alois Brunner 'died in Syria squalor'

One of his guards said Brunner, who went by the name of Abu Hussein, “suffered and cried a lot in his final years, everyone heard him.”

The man, identified only as Omar, said he “couldn’t even wash.”

All he had to eat were “army rations - awful stuff - and an egg or a potato. He had to choose one or the other.”

(He was a 'consultant' to various torture regimes but when he became a political embarrassment/liability, his retirement plan was really bad)
