The Rise and Fall of Versailles
Louis XIV, Louis XV and Louis XVI: Three kings, three reigns, three stories. This three-part series offers a sensitive and endearing portrait of the monarchs and recreates their life, loves and political willpower. From the Sun King, admired by the court and his subjects, to Louis XVI, the only King of France ever to be executed, we will revisit the Versailles of the 18th century until the French Revolution. Filmed in the spectacular staterooms, bedrooms and gardens of Versailles itself, these beautifully photographed drama-documentaries bring the 150-year reign of France's three most famous monarchs to life, with the help of interviews from world leading specialists.
