Palace where ninth stanza read aloud? (10)
I believe the answer is:
versailles
'palace' is the definition.
(I know that Versailles is a palace)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for versailles that I've seen before include "Palace near Paris" , "French palace" , "Royal Court" , "Palace built by Louis XIV" , "Louis XIV's palace; WW one treaty" .)
