The Royal Molecatcher of Versailles
"Versailles
was the greatest symbol of France. After everything (Louis) spent on
the gardens, imagine if the moles had been allowed to run riot? All this
money would have been squandered, wasted," says Versailles' head
gardener Alan Baraton.
"For the king, of course, it was one of the most important functions at the palace."...
Being a good molecatcher can also save lives. In 1702, William III
of England died from injuries he sustained after his horse tripped on a
molehill. "If the king had been more careful about the upkeep of his
grass, he would not have been dead at 52 years old," says Baraton
wisely.
