			In 1665, Louis XIV left Paris to be subject to the fervor of city crowds. In the village of [[Versailles]], the king decided to expand his [[Louis XIII of France\|father's]] hunting lodge to create a [[Palace of Versailles\|monumental palace]] and showcase his power over nature. During the following fifteen years, 25 000 men worked on the construction. To ensure the courtiers continued presence in Versailles, Louis XIV determined that all buildings erected in Versailles be non-liable to seizure for debt, which made the village particularly attractive.<ref name="Village de Versailles"/>

			During the construction of Versailles, Louis XIV continued to sponsor the construction of buildings in Paris. As a patron of poets and scholars, he promoted the construction of the [[Paris Observatory\|Observatory]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Unity]]'' – [[Database: Observatoire de Paris]]</ref> To finance a [[Les Invalides\|hospital for the invalid soldiers]], Louis XIV taxed France's abbeys. On 30 November 1671, he laid the first stone. Five years later, the hospital was occupied by 6 000 soldiers.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Unity]]'' – [[Database: Les Invalides]]</ref>

			During his reign, Louis XIV had an illegitimate daughter with the Marquise of Montespan. He later legitimized her.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Unity]]'' – [[Database: Palais Bourbon]]</ref>

	In May 1685, Louis XIV passed a [[Code Noir\|decree]] dictating how [[Slavery\|slaves]] were to be treated and further details of the trade.

			Around 1699, Louis XIV bought the Hôtel Vendôme and a part of the convent des Capucines to create the [[Place Vendôme]]. He sold the land behind the housefronts to prominent financiers of the Parisian society. At the center of the place, a statue of Louis XIV in [[Roman Empire\|Roman attire]] was inaugurated on 13 August 1699.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Unity]]'' – [[Database: Place Vendôme]]</ref>
