FRENCH VERSION
This book traces the life of Louis XIV and plunges us to the Court of Versailles, making us discover his family, the favorites of the king and the many intrigues, but also the writers, musicians, artists, architects or gardeners... Indeed, the royal patronage participated in the development of the arts, culture and science. Under the impulse of the king and his entourage, artists such as Molière, Lully, Racine, Boileau, Le Nôtre or Le Brun flourish there.
The book will also evoke the foreign policy and the conquests led by Louis XIV giving France borders approaching those of the contemporary era.
A very beautiful book, illustrated by more than 400 documents in color.
