overrun Paris.

The period of it's greatest splendor i was during the reign of Louis XIV, when the palace was made the center of French social and court life. Here the king held his court and carried I on all diplomatic work of his long administration. The gaiety of the court at this time has been made the subject Of much ilitorical comment Louis XV allowed Versailles to be- come a place of secondary importance during hEs reign, transferring the
 court to Paris. Louis XVI sought to
 bring the days Of his predecessbr.
 Louis XIV, back to life by establish
 ing himself there, but his tragic end
 left Versailles fer many years place of Tttle importance. Napoleon utterly neglected the palace as did also Louis XV111 and Charles x, but Louis Philippe restored it's ancient grandeur filling it with works of art to commemorate great events in Frenc, History.
 Tn the Palace of Versailles today the president of the French Republic is elected.
 During the days of the reign of Terror, towards the close of the eight eeth century, Versailles was the scene ot great events. The states general met here on the fifth Of May and precipitated the tremendous re. volution that overturned the monar- chy 4 shc,7t way from the palace i; the famous tennis court where the memters of the states general took the oath binding themselves not to separate until they had given France constitution.
 Tn 1870 and 1871 the palace was the headquarters of theGerman army under Bismarck Von Moltke and Wilhelm l. Following the Franco Prussian war it was the scat of the ] French National assembly which was in 1873 transferred to Paris.
