Versailles - A Day in the Life of a King

Ulisse - The Pleasure of Discovery Season 13 Episode 3

Overview:
In this episode of Ulisse, Alberto Angela offers viewers a truly special journey to Europe's most prestigious palace, Versailles, during the reign of Louis XV. Sixty years of reign, during the eighteenth century, marked the palace's peak splendor before it all came to an end with Louis XVI and the French Revolution. What did it mean to be king during that period? How did people live at court? What were the daily habits? Alberto Angela will show us how people dressed, how they bathed, what they ate, what entertainment they had, and how they loved. And with him, we'll have the opportunity to visit hidden corners and magnificent rooms of the Palace of Versailles. Louis XV found himself king while still a child, at just five years old. His predecessor, the famous Sun King Louis XIV, was not his father or even his grandfather: he was actually his great-grandfather.
