Description
Welcome to the most legendary palace in the world, the glittering Château de Versailles. Narrating the most important historical, social and cultural milestones of Versailles, beginning with the original proposal for a modest hunting lodge requested by Louis XIII in 1623, this volume encompasses the vast property, from the palace and gardens to the Grand Trianon and at the Hameau de la Reine.
From the first major constructions under Louis over the centuries, from Mozart, Benjamin Franklin and Queen Victoria to Fred Astaire and the Kennedys, without forgetting the exhibitions of the great artists of today, starting with Jeff Koons in 2008.
Richly illustrated with archival images and beautiful photographs, Versailles: From Louis Palace of Versailles, revealing all the stories that took place in this glorious monument.
