Versailles: Science and Splendour offers a captivating look at the often-overlooked scientific role of the Palace of Versailles between the 1660s and the outbreak of the French Revolution in 1789. While Versailles is best known for its opulent architecture, grand gardens, and royal court, it was also a vibrant hub of scientific exploration. This book uncovers how the French monarchy strategically used science to boost its image and expand its international influence.
