| Summary: | The first almanach was published in 1773, a publication unique in that it provided--in addition to traditional almanach offerings such as a calendar, schedule of the phases of the moon, and timetable of hours of sunset--a detailed nomenclature of the French court, royal family, staff of the royal households, services of the secrétaires d'État, and other administrative staff, municipal government of the city of Versailles, and clergy, merchants, and notable citizens of the town. It also included a detailed description of the château and gardens of Versailles, as well as the town. New information was added with each passing year: for example, the 1774 issue contained descriptions of the Trianon and the Ménagerie, the 1780 almanach provided a map of the town of Versailles, and advertisements began appearing with the 1788 volume. |
