Details About Versailles
Destinations » River Cruises » European Rivers » Versailles
In 1682, France's king Louis XIV moved the royal court from the hustle and bustle of polluted Paris to the tranquil countryside of Versailles; it is here where architects, interior decorators and garden designers had been busily expanding the previous king Louis XIII's modest hunting lodge into a massive complex capable of housing 20,000 people. France's aristocrats and nobility were invited to live at the Chau de Versailles, centralizing power and solidifying the strength of the monarchy.
