Step into the most dazzling palace ever built — and discover the strange, filthy, fascinating truth hidden behind its gold.

Tonight we travel back to 17th-century France to live inside the world of Louis XIV, the Sun King, at Versailles. Watch a hundred noblemen gather just to see the king get out of bed. Learn why dukes fought for the honour of handing him his shirt, why duchesses went to war over a tiny stool, why courtiers grew one long fingernail, and why the most glamorous court in Europe drowned itself in perfume. We'll walk Le Nôtre's gardens, meet the drunken royal elephant, uncover the Affair of the Poisons, and follow the Sun King all the way to his final, gentle sunset.

Slow, calm and soothing narration — perfect for falling asleep, relaxing, or unwinding after a long day. 🌙
