Overview

Le Soleil Royal was a magnificent French ship-of-the-line, built between 1668 and 1670 as part of King Louis XIV's navy. Serving as the flagship of Admiral Tourville, this 104-gun vessel was renowned not only for its power but also for its incredibly beautiful and elaborate Baroque decorations, embodying the grandeur of the Sun King himself. She played a fundamental role during the Nine Years War before her demise in 1692.
