Synopsis
France, 1671. With war brewing against Holland, the penniless Prince de Conde invites King Louis XIV to his country chateau for a three-day feast of magnificent proportions.
Desperate for a commission as a general, the prince wants no expense spared and places Vatel, a man of honour, talent and low rank, in charge of proceedings.
