Versailles

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

A bird's-eye view by Albert Lamorisse
For Bastille Day, an award-winning film about the sumptuous palace and gardens of Versailles. Albert Lamorisse is the celebrated French director who made The Red Balloon, White Stallion, Stowaway in the Sky, and Paris Rediscovered.
In tonight's film Lamorisse's aerial camera captures the stunning profusion of Versailles's cascading fountains; the patterns of its formal gardens; the bowers, walks and glades in which Marie Antoinette played shepherdess and Louis XIV shaped Europe's most spectacular architectural masterpiece. "-
