Versailles

AHH LOOK AT THE NICE WEATHER...

The Palace of Versailles, or simply Versailles, is a royal château in Versailles, the Île-de-France region of France. In French, it is known as the Château de Versailles. When the château was built, Versailles was a country village; today, however, it is a suburb of Paris, some twenty kilometers southwest of the French capital. From 1682, when Louis XIV moved from Paris, until the royal family was forced to return to the capital in October 1789, the court of Versailles was the centre of political power in France. Versailles is therefore famous not only as a building, but as a symbol of the system of absolute monarchy of the Ancien Régime.





Louis XIV (1638 – 1715) ruled as King of France. His reign lasted seventy-two years, three months, and eighteen days, the longest documented for any European monarch to date. For much of Louis's reign, France stood as the leading power in Europe, Louis XIV continued the work of his predecessors to create a centralized state governed from the capital in order to sweep away the remnants of feudalism which had persisted in parts of France. He succeeded in breaking the power and forced many leading nobles to live with him in his lavish Palace of Versailles.
