About this episode
Versailles – the palace, the people, history and legends. The extraordinary story of this mighty castle, built in a swamp on the outskirts of Paris stars a heavyweight cast of royals and played a key role in the destiny of France…

We talk about the people who lived here, the history of the palace and the most fascinating facts about Versailles…
