These were the bed chambers of Louis XIV from 1701, and where the King's getting-up and going-to-bed ceremonies took place. At 8.30am, the First Valet would say “Sire, it is time to get up”. Then, the King was washed, combed, shaved and dressed before breakfast. At around 1pm, he would dine at his Private Table; a small square table with gold cutlery, facing the windows. At 11pm, the King went to bed following the same ceremony as for getting up, but in reverse.
