A witty, sweeping historical pageant that traces Versailles and its monarchs through personal intrigues and affairs, blending comedy with the grandeur and decline of French royal power.

Witty narration follows the history of Versailles Palace; founded by Louis XIII, enlarged by autocratic Louis XIV, whose personal affairs and amours, and those of his two successors, are pursued in more detail to the start of the Revolution, after which the story is brought rapidly up to date.
