S1E1 - The Louvre, The Power Of The Centuries 2023-04-08

At the beginning of the 13th century, Philip Augustus, King of France, dreads an English foray in his capital city. Thus, he decides to build the fortress of the Louvre, a military architectural gem. Today, the Louvre is a museum housing the greatest masterpieces, but its also a palace, at the heart of power since its origin. Eight centuries would be necessary for it to look as it does today. Obsessed with the desire for a Louvre showcasing their power, Frances greatest sovereigns will continually keep on expanding and embellishing it.

S1E2 - Versailles, Louis XIV and His Destiny 2023-04-15

In the summer of 1661, Nicolas Fouquet, Superintendent of Finances, unveils his dramatic Vaux-le-Vicomte castle to Louis XIV. The place makes a lasting impression on the monarch and strengthens his crazy idea - build an even more outstanding palace - Versailles. Nobody bets on this tiny hunting lodge surrounded by marshes. Fuelled by the ambitions of his master, Versailles is expanded and gradually transformed, thanks to the most gifted artists of its time. As Louis XIVs love affairs and military victories go by, the Porcelain Trianon, lEnveloppe, the Hall of Mirrors, the Ambassadors Staircase and the Royal Chapel rose from the ground. In 50 years, Louis XIV succeeds in making Versailles the seat of monarchy, the centre of Europe and an architectural masterpiece still admired today.

In this fascinating adventure, we see Pericles surrounded by the greatest figures of his time - Sophocles, Phidias, Thucydides, and Aspasia. We relive ambitious and aesthetic, but above all violent, times - and a turning point in the history of humanity. To tell the story of this unprecedented human adventure, the documentary combines interviews, 3D animations and fictional clips. It offers a journey between the current Acropolis and its past, between archaeologists research and reconstructions.
