The Château of Versailles attracts millions of visitors
every year. Its grandeur, its magnificent ornamentation,
and the splendour of its gardens make it the king of
châteaux.
Versailles was, above all, a royal residence and a symbol
of the sovereign's absolute power, speaking volumes about
the life and reign of Louis XIV, the Sun King. Here centuries
of French history come together; from Louis XIII to Louis-Philippe,
the traces of France's past are still very much alive.
The nine tours of this family guide take on an
enthralling journey back through history. The work presents
us magnificent works of art, sovereigns and their portraits,
their apartments, the magnificent Hall of Mirrors and
the delights of the gardens. There are also handy hints to help
you get your bearings. A work to fascinate the whole family,
young and old alike.
