About this Broadcast
Versailles
Writer and broadcaster Stephen Smith explores the flamboyant court of French monarch Louis XIV at the Palace of Versailles, where he surrounded himself with aristocrats, artists, interior designers, gardeners, wig-makers, chefs and musicians. Ambitious courtiers scrambled to get closer to the king, but the bedchamber seemed to provide a more unseemly path to power
