In English it is often referred to as the Palace of Versailles. When the castle was built, Versailles was a country village, but it is now a suburb

of Paris. From 1682, when King Louis XIV moved from Paris, until the royal family was forced to return to the capital in 1789, the Court of

Versailles was the centre of power in Ancien Régime France. Versailles is therefore famous not only as a building, but as a symbol of the

system of absolute monarchy.
