Why is the crown prince of Saudi Arabia banned from entering France?

 Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince, Muhammad bin Salman, owns a super-luxurious home in France. The house, said to be the most expensive in the world, was purchased by Prince Muhammad bin Salman last year for approximately Rp 5 trillion.

The luxurious mansion is the palace of King Louis XIV, located on the outskirts of Paris. Recently, Prince Mohammed bin Salman planned to vacation in France and spend his vacation at the ultra-luxurious home. However, the French President rejected the request.

The Middle East newspaper, Middle East Monitor, published on March 4, 2020, wrote that there were several reasons suspected to be the reason why Prince Muhammad Bin Salman was not permitted to visit France.

Firstly, a visit to the luxurious home of the former palace of King Louis XIV is considered to embarrass French President Emmanuel Macron, whose government is experiencing a crisis due to the failure of various reform programs and projects.

Another reason, it is suspected that Prince Muhammad Bin Salman's request to visit France was rejected due to his alleged involvement in the murder of Saudi Arabian journalist Jamal Khasoggi in Turkey some time ago because he was persistent in criticizing the Saudi Arabian government.

The first reason is perhaps more logical, because in the midst of the crisis that France is experiencing, President Emmanuel Macron certainly does not want to be "humbled" by the transfer of ownership of the super-luxurious palace belonging to King Louis XIV to the hands of the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia.

If Prince Muhammad Bin Salman is allowed to visit his palace, and the mass media reports it, it will certainly worsen the image of the French government which has "lost" the palace of King Louis XIV.

The oldest house in France

 Found in Aveyron, it's 700 years old, built in the 13th century and owned by a woman named Jeanne. The ground floor is slightly smaller than the upper floors because in those days you only had to pay taxes on the land you occupied, so everyone built that way, cheating! This house tells us that Jeanne was relatively wealthy because it's built of stone.

The house is made of a wooden frame and a material called "cob," which is made from a mixture of mud, straw, and water. However, the exterior is covered with stone, giving it a very sturdy appearance.

Inside the house is a kitchen and a cellar containing troughs for animals. This suggests that in the Middle Ages, people lived on the lower floor with their animals.

Jean's House still stands today and has been renovated. It is now open to tourists and hosts medieval-themed events in July and August.

However, it's important to note that while it's said to be the oldest house in France, there are several other buildings that compete for this claim. These buildings are also said to date back to the 12th century. But Jeanne's House stands out for its unique design and historical significance.
