Over 30,000 men worked on the constructing!!

The palace is wonderful! One of my favorite rooms is the Hall of Mirrors.

There are 357 mirrors!!!!!!

Louis’ parents were Louis XIII and Anne of Austria. Louis XIV became King at the age of five!!

When he was grownup, he let the people have a chance to dress him or be with him for the day to avoid contention.
