In this fascinating episode of Ulisse il piacere della scoperta, Alberto Angela offers viewers a truly special journey to the most prestigious palace in Europe, Versailles, during the reign of Louis XV. Sixty long years which constituted the peak of its splendor for the palace, before everything faded with Louis XVI and the French Revolution. What did it mean to be king in that period? How did people live at court? What were your daily habits? This documentary allows us to retrace the fashions of the time, to sit at the table with the king, to let our minds wander among the entertainment that took place in the palace, and to relive the fiery, yet public, royal loves. Louis XV found himself king while still a child, at just 5 years old. Unlike the king who preceded him, the famous Sun King Louis XIV, and the one who will succeed him (Louis XVI); Louis XV was not the protagonist of exceptional events.
