«Une Journée du Roi Soleil» is the children's history book by Jean-Marie Ruffieux, published by L'Ecole des loisirs in hardcover (48 pages, in French).
The book covers a full day of the Sun King at Versailles: from his early hours to the night, it shows how Louis XIV governs, receives ministers and his family, and turns every palace ceremony into an act of power. It also explains why the monarch, marked by the revolts of his childhood, built Versailles to watch the nobility and make the court a stage for his glory.
The book, originally published in 1996, belongs to the Archimède collection and includes a prologue and epilogue by Roger Rotmann.
Aimed at children aged 6 to 8 interested in French history and daily life at the court of Versailles.
