In the Footsteps of Louis XIV

The tour following in the footsteps of Louis XIV takes visitors to Saint-Germain-en-Laye, where the Sun King was born on September 5, 1638, then to his favourite château in Marly, and finally to Versailles. The ambitious monarch, who gathered the best architects of his time, left a lasting mark on the wooded Yvelines department. The king who rose above the sun also conquered water here.
