Henry IV made Paris his primary residence (promoting a major building boom in private mansions), but Louis XIV once again withdrew from the city in the last decades of his reign and Versailles became the primary seat of the French monarchy for much of the following century.
Henri IV tegi Pariisist oma esmase residentsi (algatades suure eralosside ehitusbuumi), kuid Louis XIV lahkus oma valitsemise lõpukümnenditel taas kord linnast ja Versailles sai esmaseks Prantsuse monarhia asukohaks enamuseks järgmiseks sajandiks.
