Well, the Palace of Versailles was built because the nobles were trying to overthrow the French monarchy, and in order to keep a close eye on them, Louis XIV built a beautiful palace, somewhat far from the city of Paris, for the nobles to live in with him. This prevented them from starting any uprisings.

As for the rituals, the king's day was timed down to the last minute so that the officers in the service of the monarch could plan their work as accurately as possible. From the rising ceremony to the retiring, he followed a strict schedule, as did all the members of the Court, all regulated like clockwork.

Hope this helps!
