As one strolls through this superb setting, one can understand how visitors of long ago marvelled at the architecture, the decors and the wonderful gardens. The history of the royal estate, which this guide book invites us to visit, is that of a simple hunting pavillion which was transformed first into a country residence and then enlarged to become a veritable chateau surrounded by gardens. It was later completed by the creation of a town and finally chosen as the permanent home of the sovereign and his court and as the seat of government. Illustrated. Translation by Bronia Fuchs.
