- Un cortège rappel le spectacle célébrant le mariage de Louis XIII et d'Anne d'Autriche en 1614, mais est encore plus grandiose :
Le premier spectacle du genre célèbre le mariage de ses parents. 
It marks the start of Louis's reign without a Prime Minister and the birth of an heir (in 1662). The site is still called "la place du Carrousel." The bleachers in front of the Tuileries palace seat 15,000 spectators and one of the prizes is a jewel-filled box with the king's portrait on the cover. |

- Fetes at Versailles :

TAXES SKIM OFF PROFITS AND GIANT FÊTES DISPERSE IT
