- Louis XVI relocated the royal court to the Palace of Versailles. Versailles is a city located southwest of Paris, France, and it was here that the royal court was officially moved by King Louis XIV, Louis XVI’s grandfather, in 1682. Louis XVI, who reigned from 1774 to 1792, continued to operate from Versailles until 1789. The palace was a symbol of the absolute monarchy of the Ancien Régime in France.
- The Palace of Versailles became the residence of French kings and the location of the royal court from the time of Louis XIV. It was expanded from a hunting lodge into one of the largest palaces in the world and is renowned for its architectural grandeur and political history.
