The Palace of Versailles, or simply Versailles (English /vɛərˈsaɪ/ vair-SY or /vərˈsaɪ/ vər-SY; French: [vɛʁsaj]), is a royal château in Versailles in the Île-de-France region of France. It is also known as the château de Versailles.
When the château was built, Versailles was a country village; today, however, it is a wealthy suburb of Paris, some 20 kilometres southwest of the French capital. The court of Versailles was the centre of political power in France from 1682, when Louis XIV moved from Paris, until the royal family was forced to return to the capital in October 1789 after the beginning of the French Revolution. Versailles is therefore famous not only as a building, but as a symbol of the system of absolute monarchy of the Ancien Régime.
Begun by Louis XIII in 1623, the château began as a hunting lodge in brick and stone. It was enlarged into a royal palace by Louis XIV. The first phase of the expansion (c. 1661–1678) was designed and supervised by the architect Louis Le Vau. It culminated in the addition of three new wings of stone (the enveloppe), which surrounded Louis XIII's original building on the north, south, and west (the garden side). After Le Vau's death in 1670, the work was taken over and completed by his assistant, François d'Orbay.Charles Le Brun designed and supervised the elaborate interior decoration, and André Le Nôtre landscaped the extensive Gardens of Versailles. Le Brun and Le Nôtre collaborated on the numerous fountains, and Le Brun supervised the design and installation of countless statues.
Louis XIV (5 September 1638 – 1 September 1715), known as Louis the Great (Louis le Grand) or the Sun King (le Roi-Soleil), was a monarch of the House of Bourbon who ruled as King of France from 1643 until his death. His reign of 72 years and 110 days is the longest of any monarch of a major country in European history.
Louis began his personal rule of France in 1661 after the death of his chief minister, the Italian Cardinal Mazarin. An adherent of the concept of the divine right of kings, which advocates the divine origin of monarchical rule, Louis continued his predecessors' work of creating a centralized state governed from the capital. He sought to eliminate the remnants of feudalism persisting in parts of France and, by compelling many members of the nobility to inhabit his lavish Palace of Versailles (formerly a hunting lodge belonging to Louis's father), succeeded in pacifying the aristocracy, many members of which had participated in the Fronde rebellion during Louis's minority. By these means he became one of the most powerful French monarchs and consolidated a system of absolute monarchical rule in France that endured until the French Revolution.
Versailles' dirty secrets - Toute L'Histoire The chateau of Versailles is believed to have been a dirty palace: a place where everyone tossed the contents of their chamber pots from the windows above… Yet during the chateau’s construction, Louis XIV had given thought to commodities, and several public latrines were built as well as a very modern water system. So where did this bad reputation come from? Every sundays at 19 pm Toute L'Histoire channel invites you to watch a new documentary: http://bit.ly/2kYWUwp
VERSAILLES Season 1 - an Incendo, Zodiak Fiction and Capa Drama co-production. http://www.versaillestheseries.com Louis XIV is twenty-eight years old. In order to rule over the nobility and to permanently impose his absolute power, he launches the construction of Versailles, like one sets a trap. Louis XIV is a young king haunted by childhood trauma, the Fronde, a rebellion of the nobility against his father Louis XIII… Outstanding political strategist, manipulator, Machiavellian, he will “invent” Versailles in order to keep the Nobles away from Paris and under control; he is progressively transforming Versailles into a golden prison. He is also inclined to Romanesque passions, but how to live them out when one is the greatest king of the world? The first season follows the King as he t...

C'est dans le cadre somptueux du château de Versailles que l'équipe de «Secrets d'histoire» mène ses nouvelles investigations. Stéphane Bern évoque avec passion les femmes qui ont compté dans la vie des grands monarques que furent Louis XIV et Louis XV. Lieu de pouvoir majeur du royaume de France, la cour de Versailles a dû composer avec l'influence de ces femmes de tempérament. Sous Louis XIV, mademoiselle de Fontanges, madame de La Vallière, madame de Montespan et madame de Maintenon ont associé leur nom à l'histoire de France. Sous Louis XV, madame du Barry demeure dans toutes les mémoires, notamment du fait de son indépendance d'esprit. Certaines d'entre elles disposaient de demeures somptueuses. Les caméras explorent ainsi les châteaux de Louveciennes et de Maintenon.
WARNING: SPOILERS VERSAILLES SEASON 2 “All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way" L. Tolstoy This is actually my most emotionaly challenging video so far and it took me long time to finish it. I was trying to show the complex relations of Philippe and Liselotte in their bittersweet marriage. PS. I know that Monchevy is the one and only true loving couple in the series (and I love them!) but I also like Philippe with both of his wives and can't do nothing with it:D PPS. I want to thank all the people for writting me kind words here on youtube and on twitter. It really means a lot! I hope that you'll like this video too.

Travel video about destination Versailles in France. Versailles was the former palace and dream castle of the French 'Sun King', Louis the Fourteenth. The history of Versailles covers the rise and fall of the Bourbons whose reign covered the most remarkable period of French history. Here, the French king lavishly entertained the decadent nobility, oblivious to the unrest caused by their false pride, supreme arrogance and almost total disregard for the poverty of the French people that would eventually lead to Revolution.Magnificent fountains decorate the palace's huge park that was created by 35,000 workers, a hundred hectares of ingenious garden design with a strict symmetry of wide star-shaped garden paths that seem to be without end. Drawn by four horses, the god Apollo emerges from the...
