France's magnificent Palace of Versailles pays extraordinary testimony to the reign of Louis XIV, the self-styled Sun King, who ruled at the height of French power for an incredible 72 years. Discover the truth about the King's very open 'secret' second marriage to Francois D'Aubinge. It’s been claimed Louis bathed only three times in his entire life. How does that square with the luxurious Turkish bath at the Palace of Versailles or the stories of him disinfecting his skin with alcohol or the fact that he had literally hundreds of pairs of underwear which he changed many times during a day? Tracy will find that the King was very conscious of his height as he was only five feet four inches tall. In his wigs and heels however, he appeared to be almost seven feet tall and Tracy explain how this extraordinary effect was achieved.
