Went to the château de Versailles
Photo 1: the Orangery built under Louis XIV to try to grow oranges and lemons. At the time, they were luxury fruits because they were not grown in France. They continue the tradition of keeping them under cover in winter and taking them out in summer. Some trees are over 200 years old!
Photo 2 : Look at the difference size between the golf cart and the trees !!!!
Photo 3, 4, 5 : The Grand Trianon marble colonnade and detail of the curtains.

The Belvedere Pavilion at Versailles was built for Marie-Antoinette, who made use of the octagonal building as a music room. Under her instructions, the pavilion was designed in the newly popular neoclassical style, with its landscaped garden reflecting the passion for English gardens at the time. The pavilion’s architectural lines show a classical balance of proportion, and its interior reflects a studied refinement with its sculpture and the richness of its paintings. Over the centuries, the interiors and exteriors of the Belvedere suffered from aging materials and lack of maintenance. In recent decades, the exterior was threatened by impaired drainage systems that allowed rain to stream along the façade and reach the lower parts of the building. Moss and lichen grew on the surfaces and some elements of the decorative balustrades were lost. The interior also showed cracks along the walls and on the floor.

A pair of footstools created for the salon de la maison du seigneur at the Hameau de La Reine, under Marie-Louise, in 1812. The seats were part of a seat including a sofa, two bergères, eight armchairs, twelve chairs and a fireplace screen. The footstools were set to be auctioned but it appears they have been preemptively taken off the block.
