No, he didn't. Though, as it was his birthright, he had to. He much rather would have wanted his younger brother Compte de Provence to access the throne, but this was not possible since he was the eldest son and simply had to.
Louis XVI had a difficult childhood because his parents neglected him in favor of his bright and handsome older brother, Louis, duc de Bourgogne, who died at the age of ten in 1761. The sorrow his parents felt at the death of their elder son made it difficult for them to give Louis-Auguste the attention and affection he needed.
Upon the death of his father, who died of tuberculosis on 20 December 1765, the eleven-year-old Louis-Auguste became the new dauphin. His mother, who had never recovered from the loss of her husband, died on 13 March 1767, also from tuberculosis. Louis-Auguste, his two brothers and two sisters were left orphaned. The strict and conservative education he received from the duc de La Vauguyon, (governor of the Children of France) from 1760 until his marriage in 1770 did not prepare him for the throne he was to inherit in 1774 at the death of his grandfather.
Louis XVI inherited the French throne on the 10th May 1774 when his grandfather Louis XV died of smallpox. He reigned until 1793.
