Ovation TV, America’s only arts television network, has a new anticipated TV series, “Versailles” which tells the story of King Louis XIV, who ruled France for 72 years, the longest of any monarch in European history; and his time at Versailles, one of the most beautiful palaces ever built. Experience the story of King Louis XIV and all the controversy that comes with power, wealth, passion, and betrayal.
To celebrate the October 1st premiere and US debut, the Ovation Network hosted a three day extravaganza, which kicked off on Wednesday September 28th.
For Day 1 of festivities the cast and among other celebs gathered at Bagatelle located in the Meatpacking District, which boasts a European atmosphere, for a totally experiential celebration. The night included dinner fit for a king and celebrated the art of food and wine, favorites of King Louis XIV.
Those in attendance included Billy (see below) and Liza Zane, and Helen Mirren (see below). Also the Versailles cast and crew: George Blagden who plays King Louis XIV, Alexander Vlahos who plays Louis’ younger brother Philippe, Anna Brewster who plays Madame de Montespan, Noemie Schmidt who plays Henriette, the wife of Philippe and the mistress of King Louis, and Tygh Runyan, who plays Fabien, Chief King Louis’ police force.
