Louis XIV on Horseback Figurine

The best-known French monarch, Louis XIV (1638-1715), known as "the Great" or "the Sun King," reigned over France and Navarre from 1643 to 1715. This was one of the longest reigns in European history. After Mazarin's death, he personally took over the government of the kingdom and exercised an "absolute monarchy" with an iron fist. Fond of art and architecture, the Palace of Versailles with its gardens, where one can admire the equestrian statue reproduced by PAPO, remains his most extraordinary achievement.

A great gift idea for curious children, history enthusiasts and those who love great periods of the past, and collectors of Papo figurines.
