XVII century, the brilliant era of the heyday of French absolutism, which brought worldwide fame to France and its culture, is inseparable from the image of the monarch, like the sun, who lit up his country and was nicknamed by his contemporaries: The Sun King. With his direct participation, Versailles was created, he patronized Racine and Moliere, Mansard and Lully, it is he who owns the honor of creating classical French ballet. It is less known that Louis XIV, being a passionate admirer and connoisseur of the arts, himself paid tribute to the muses: he was an excellent musician and an outstanding dancer, whose skill was noted unanimously and by no means only because of loyal feelings.
