At the beginning of the eighteenth century the French Monarchy was the most illustrious in Europe. Louis XIV was followed by his great-grandson of him, Louis XV known for a time as 'Louis the Well Loved', but died the most hated man in France. His grandson and successor of him, Louis XVI, was overthrown and executed. Here are the splendors of Versailles, the squalor of Marseilles, the storming of the Bastille, the courtiers lionizing Benjamin Franklin, and the multitudinous glories of French culture.
