It took more than a click of the fingers to transform Louis XIII's private hunting lodge into the biggest château in the world. Almost two centuries of royal will, discussions, demolitions and rebuilding work combined to shape a project that was constantly reinvented. Containing a wealth of monumental and photorealistic illustrations and accessible to all, this book tells the story of a unique building project, bearing testimony to the fulfilled ambitions of the Kings, earning Versailles the worldwide reputation it enjoys today.
