The most famous French monarch, Louis XIV (1638-1715), known as "the Great" or "the Sun King," ruled France and Navarre from 1643 to 1715. This was one of the longest reigns in European history. After Mazarin's death, he personally assumed the government of the kingdom and exercised an "absolute monarchy" with an iron fist. Passionate about art and architecture, the Palace of Versailles with its gardens, where you can admire the equestrian statue recreated by PAPO, remains his most extraordinary achievement.

Once Upon a Time There was Papo
For almost 25 years now, Papo has been helping children to grow and to discover the world around them. Childhood is a time of dreams and adventures, and this was what we had in mind when we decided to create our first princesses, princes, dragons and knights. Thanks to the originality of its products and the extreme care taken with product quality and safety, Papo has won children and parents over the years. Papo is now a reference in the world of model figures and continues to develop new ranges to inspire the imaginations of children all around the world. In an age of mass consumption and throwaway goods, Papo continues to produce fine quality toys that last over time and can be passed on from generation to generation.
