Comedians born in Versailles

Versailles, capital of the Yvelines department just southwest of Paris, is synonymous with the vast palace built by Louis XIV, whose gardens, Hall of Mirrors and grandeur draw visitors from around the world. Beyond the chateau, it is an elegant, planned city of broad avenues and a former royal seat of government. Its theatres and cultural institutions, set within the greater Paris region, ensure touring performers and comedy are never far away.
