There's a fantastic film/documentary thing about Louis XIV called Versailles, le reve d'un roi. Well, as you can guess it's more about the palace than Louis himself.
Anyway, the BBC used that to make a documentary which is more centred around Louis (and requires no French skills
) and I thought people might be interested in giving it a look as it was uploaded, in very high quality, onto youtube.
If you speak French (and I mean good French because the narrator is lightning fast!) then the original version is well worth a watch, it being a lot longer and more in depth! I've put the BBC version below.
The same user has uploaded the two other documentaries in the series about the last two Louis' too so if you enjoy this one those are worth a look see too.
