Domestically, he wanted to centralize all political power in the hands of the monarch (ie himself). In this he was very successful, building his palace at Versailles and then moving his court there.This forced the senior nobility to spend much of their time there if they wanted any influence over policy, and this kept them away from their estates so they couldn't plot against the king or cause trouble in the provinces.

The other domestic policy was to make France a wholly Catholic country, and Louis was again successful. By revoking the Edict of Nantes (which guaranteed freedom of worship to French Protestants) in 1685, all Protestants in France were forced to convert to Catholicism or leave.The downside was that many thousands did leave,depriving France of some soldiers,sailors, and artisans.For example silk weavers left for England, so the profits from that trade were lost to France and gained for England.

Foreign policy was to extend French boundaries to their natural limits; the Pyrenees and Alps mountains, and the river Rhine.This would give France easily defendable borders, and increase the population and agricultural land in France, thus leading to higher tax and crop yields.Although some territory was gained, particularly to the east,on the whole this policy didn't really succeed, and left France heavily in debt by the end of Louis' reign due to his constant wars.

Louis XIV (1638-1715) was king of France from 1643 to 1715. He brought the French monarchy to its peak of absolute power and made France the dominant power in Europe. His reign is also associated with the greatest age of French culture and art.
