About eight miles from Paris is the town of Versailles, which was but a poor little village when a great king took a fancy to it and built there a palace. His son was passionately fond of state and grandeur, and he resolved to add to the palace, room after room and gallery after gallery, until he had made it the most superb house in all the world.

This was Louis XIV., called by Frenchmen ‘Le grand Monarque.’ He reigned seventy-two years, having been a mere child when called to the throne.
