The Culture and the Society in the French 17th century The century when the chateau de Versailles was constructed |
It is in the 16th century that the France established its own social system with the French as an official language. The France faced also the crisis in which the people were in the civil war divided in two parties : catholic and protestant. In the following century, Louis XIII and the prime minister Richelieu set up the normative style of French and made the strict regulations for dramaturgy with the Academy Fran£aise established in 1634. The following king Louis XIV accomplished the absolute monarchy in France. The garden of the chateau de Versailles planned in perspective shows the intention of the monarchy which controls the nature under the spirit of the rationalism which remains always in our century such as the plan of restoration of the chateau de Versailles.
