Symbol of France's glory, Versailles is probably the most splendid royal palace in Europe. From 1643 to 1792 it was the stage on which the most glorious period of the French Monarchy played out, until the darkest days, at the fall of the Bourbon dynasty.
This three-part series offers a sensitive and endearing portrait of the monarchs and recreates their life, loves, and political willpower — through the Sun King's grandeur, his great-grandson's slow decline, and the doomed reign that ended on the guillotine.
