"Ce livre entend briser l’image convenue mais fausse de Versailles, palais du Soleil, ce qu’il n’a jamais été. Gérard Sabatier analyse la globalité d’un processus créateur, mettant face à face un Versailles effectif (expression de la rhétorique du roi) et les Versailles imaginaires élaborés par ses usagers. La disgrâce d’Apollon devient alors celle du roi, d’une forme de la monarchie devenue obsolète à l’instar de son château-manifeste"-- This book intends to break the celebrated but false image of Versailles, the "palace of the Sun," which it has never been. Gérard Sabatier analyzes the totality of a creative process, confronting an effective Versailles (the expression of the king's rhetoric) and the imaginary Versailles elaborated by its users. The disgrace of Apollo then becomes that of the king, of a form of the monarchy which has become obsolete, following the example of its manifest chateau.
