It's one of the most extraordinary dining experiences in – in one of the most extraordinary venues.Le Grand Controle, an exquisite hotel set within the grounds of the Palace of Versailles that was built in 1681 by former resident Louis XIV's favourite architect, Jules Hardouin-Mansart – offers guests a showstopping five-course Michelin-starred 'feast' by superstar chef Alain Ducasse that takes them back to the time of Louis XIV's reign.Candles flicker as dishes inspired by meals eaten by Louis, aka the 'Sun King', are theatrically announced by staff in period costume (complete with stockings and wigs) – then served on beautiful porcelain. I'm invited to take a seat at one of the coveted tables. The verdict? Louis XIV would be a regular.
