The Soleil Royal, a majestic French warship, remains one of the most emblematic vessels in French maritime history.
Built under the direction of the famous naval architect L. Hubac, this ship of the line was launched in 1669, at the height of the reign of Louis XIV, the Sun King.
With its impressive dimensions, the Soleil Royal was a marvel of naval engineering in its day. Its impressive solid oak hull, covered in copper plates, stood proudly on the waves, carrying 104 cannons spread over three decks. With a length of almost 61 meters and a beam of 16 meters, this majestic ship could accommodate a crew of over 900 men in wartime.
As a vessel of the first rank, it was equipped with three lanterns at the top of the stern and another lantern on the mizzenmast.
During the reign of Louis XIV, the French navy built around 150 ships of the line, including 56 large three-decker vessels.
The Soleil Royal was one of the largest ships in the fleet: the ship was to embody all the glory of the Sun King. It was also the only three-decker with fourteen ports before 1689.
The Soleil Royal was the flagship of the French fleet for several decades, taking part in a number of major battles. She was the flagship of the French squadron at the famous Battle of Béveziers in 1673, where she demonstrated devastating firepower, ensuring the French victory.
However, despite his glorious exploits, the fate of the Soleil Royal was marked by tragedy. During the Battle of La Hougue in 1692, the ship was targeted by an Anglo-Dutch coalition. Despite valiant resistance from its crew, the Soleil Royal was badly damaged and set on fire. In a last, heroic attempt, the ship's commander, Admiral Anne Hilarion de Tourville, ordered her abandoned and beached herself on the French coast to prevent her falling into enemy hands.
Today, the memory of the Soleil Royal lives on in the French collective imagination. Its power and grandeur forever symbolise the golden age of the French navy and the era of Louis XIV. Replicas of the ship have been built to commemorate her legacy and are on display in various maritime museums, reminding future generations of the crucial role she played in the history of France and navigation.

The 108 artillery pieces and fittings are cast brass with a smooth polished finish. All the remaining ornaments are also in cast brass.
All the necessary fittings are either walnut or brass and metal.
The flags are printed on real silk, and the anchors and metal fittings are of the finest quality. The many extraordinary detail sketches make building the model much easier.
