The palace of Versailles is one of the biggest, and arguably one of the most beautiful palaces in the world. It has come to represent the system of absolute monarchy of old France.

He had several. In the days before proper sanitation, houses got smelly quite quickly, so the court would move on to another palace while the last one was cleaned. Much of the furniture would move, too. In Paris, the King lived in the Palais des Tuileries, part of the Louvre; around Paris there were royal residences at St. Cloud, Marly, Saint-Germain-en-Laye, Rambouillet, Marly, Fontainebleau and Sceaux. However, I think the answer you are groping for is VERSAILLES, the vast palace which Louis XIV had built to house himself and the entire court outside Paris. Even here, there was provision for the Royal entourage to move around; the King could move into the Trianon while the Royal Apartments were refurbished.

Like all French tickets, it's comp,icated. For a start, if you're under 18 (26 if a EU resident) it's FREE. It's also free on the first Sunday in the month from November to March. After that, the price depends on what you want to see and whether there's a 'spectacle'. You can buy a ticket for the palace, for the gardens, for the Trianon, for the fountain show and so on. But on a normal day a ticket which covers everything is 18€.
Versailles started as a mere hunting lodge of Louis XIII but his son Louis XIV made it into the glorious palace it remains today. Milliions were spent on it and many men died making it. The king spent so much money on it that even he was embarassed by the bills and he destroyed them later in life.
