Versailles en 50 dates
Le château de Versailles entretient une relation étroite avec l’histoire, la « grande » comme la « petite », l’ancienne comme la plus récente. Jean-Jacques Aillagon, qui présida le domaine pendant quatre ans et lui donna un nouveau souffle plébiscité par le grand public, évoque l’histoire du château à travers cinquante de ses dates-clés. Il offre ainsi au lecteur une promenade à travers les événements et les personnages qui ont jalonné l’histoire de Versailles et en ont marqué le décor. À Louis XIV et Madame de Maintenon répondent Louis XV et ses favorites, Marie-Antoinette et Louis XVI et, plus récemment, Nicolas et Carla Sarkozy. Tour à tour symbole de la monarchie absolue, berceau de la Révolution française ou cadre emblématique du traité de paix mettant un terme aux massacres de la Première Guerre mondiale, Versailles n’a cessé de côtoyer le sort de la France et celui du monde.
