It simply never happened. Louis XIV (Read the Roman Numerals as 14 was the King of France and of Navarre from 3 October 1643 to 1 September 1715.) was not involved in the French Revolutuinary Flight to Varennes. His involvement in the Revolutionary War was in creating some of the debt that became a reason for the crisis that created the revolution. That event involved Louis XVI (Read the Roman Numerals as 16.) and Queen Marie Antoinette.
King Louis XVI, his wife and children and some servants fled the Tuillerie palace in which they had been put on "house-arrest" after their removal from their palace at Versailles.
Louis XVI eventually decided to flee after Marie Antoinette had been seriously threatened to be murdered and it became obvious that the Revolutionists were not warming up to the idea of a shared reigning of France (reigned by the Assemble Nationale and Louis XVI). Marie Antoinette was the one that begged her husband to flee with the family, he eventually caved to the idea. They attempted to flee to Montmédy, Count Fersen (who was a very close personal friend of Marie Antoinette) made the plan together with the Braon de Bretuil. With a carriage they fled in the middle of the night. They were to meet royal troups in Montmédy who would assist them organize counter revolutionary actions and to restore the monarchy.
Because the berline in which they traveled was so heavily packed it crept towards Montmédy and the trip took too long. When they arrived in the little town Varennes, all of France already knew the royal family had escaped Paris en everybody was on the look out. La Fayette even ordered an arrest warrant A postmaster called Drouet recognized the king's face while in Varennes (in spite of his disguise) from a 50 livres banknote. La Fayette rushed over and handed the King his arrest warrant and they were escorted back to Paris.

Where was Louis XIVs favorite palace?

Louis XIV has Versailles built because he wanted to distance himself from the Parisians and to keep the power within the nobility, this of course proved unsuccessful.
What was the aircraft used to shoot down the V 1 during World War 2?
Only a few Allied aircraft had the low altitude speed to destroy V-1s. The Hawker Tempest was the most effective, between June and September 1944 destroying 638 of 1846 destroyed by aircraft. Anti-aircraft artillery (firing the previously highly secret proximity-fused shells) and barrage balloons accounted for the balance of the total of 4,261 destroyed. There were only a handful of Tempests in service, but the total was built up to about one hundred by September, all operating with 150 Wing. Number 3 Squadron of the Wing claimed 305 destroyed. Squadron Leader Joseph Berry of 501 Squadron destroyed 59 V-1s, and Wing Commander Roland Beaumont destroyed 31. During the short summer nights of 1944 the Tempests shared the duty with night-fighting de Havilland Mosquitoes, which destroyed a further 428 V-1s. By September some P-51 Mustangs and Griffon-engined Spitfire XIVs had been tuned up for low altitude speed and destroyed 232 and 303 V-1s respectively. Though not yet fully operational the jet-powered Gloster Meteor was rushed into service with Number 616 Squadron to fight the V-1s. It had ample speed but its cannon were prone to jamming and Meteors destroyed only 13 V-1s.
