  2. in 1661, young King Louis XIV (23) attends an amazing sort of "housewarming"  party at the Chateau of Vaux le Vicomte, he is so in awe with the beauty of the gardens (Lenotre) and the chateau decorator (Lebrun)  and the designs that he has its owner (Fouquet) who was also the finance minister, imprisonned and takes over all the artists to "design" his creation Versailles on a much larger scale.
