Yesterday evening, at 8:30 pm, in front of the palace gates. No, we don't dress like that anymore! A dance ball in period costumes was being organised and gave me the opportunity to go photograph some feet, for the Daily City Photo Blog Theme Day. More information about the ball event can be found in English here. Happy Theme Day!Click here to view thumbnails for all participants

Hier soir, à 20 h 30 devant les grilles du château. Evidemment, les versaillais ne portent plus d'habits lumière ! C'était juste la soirée du bal de Versailles en costumes d'époque qui m'a permis d'aller à la rencontre de pieds, le thème du mois de juin des City Daily Photo Blogs. Bonne journée à thème !

Elegant, appropriate and timely!
Love your photos.
Elegant from Vogon is perfect to sum up these graceful feet.
Wow, these shoes look like a classic!
Do you have shoes like this yourself?
Happy Theme Day!
Touché!
Winning post for theme day, Ciel! Beautiful photos of finery on stone, highlighted by the sun in the first.
Now those are shoes, but they must be tough to polish. Happy theme day.
Greet feet on the cobblestone street! Fun FEET! Fancy French feet! Bonjour de EAGAN daily photo in Minnesota, USA
Period feet in Period shoes. Great idea and great photos!
Quelle chance ce bal.
C'est absolument parfait pour Le blog de Versailles!!
Hello Ciel!
I can't imagine myself in his shoes!!!
I mean, I would never wear that!
Cezar
I wonder if they're available in a size 7-1/2. Fancy feet indeed.
Fancy shoes...but they don;t look too comfortable!
These shoes are works of art! How nice of them to stage a ball so you could get your post. Perfect!
Only you could bring us such feet.
I love the textures against the pattern of the cobblestones. I do hope you will post the entire costumes. Love your blog!
Fabulous footwear. Wonder how comfortable? Lovely choice for today's theme and of course perfection for your blog.
Great choice, Ciel! I especially like the 1st shot.
Œuf corse ! Des pieds dignes de Versailles !
Ce bal arrivait fort à propos, ma chère!
ce serait sympa de relancer la mode de ces forts blles chausses !
magiques
Oh, I wish I'd thought of this! We have a 'sweeping the street' ceremony where women dress in ancient costume to do their spring cleaning of the city streets. Well, one bit of street in front of the Mayor's office!
Great photo.
They sure are some big bows.
Fancy feet, for sure!
Men in heels. What is the world coming to?
Fashionable shoes
And I am glad we don't dress like this anymore. Great shot for theme day. MB
Jolies chaussures!
Happy theme day!
This is a classic. Perfect for Versailles.
These put our modern day sneakers and sandals to shame ... But I think there is a lot to be said for comfrontable shoes ... happy theme day cieldequimper.
Parfait! The shoes of Louis XIV, just as I'd hoped.
Now those are feet! Very nice.
Etais-tu au bal ?
You couldn't have done better for the theme day (which I somehow missed totally!)...did they plan the ball just for you? ;-)
Terrific job.
I missed theme day and am playing catch-up 'cause we were in South Florida for our grandson's high school graduation...and then the hotel Internet went kaput!
Ugh!
Oh, and I don't think there are any piggy magnets...but I could be wrong. It happened once before! ;))
des pieds made in Versailles évidement !!
So very cool!
They look like toe pinchers.
To answer your question about hiking vs swimming...I just could not wear my boots one more second. I think the flip flops add a nice touch of color : )
These are just perfect, Ciel! So French, so historical, and so fun! I hope you'll post the full costumes one of these days.
Those are some fancy feet. Very elegant indeed.
Definitely the most elegant FEET today. But then, when in Versailles... :)
Fancy, elegant and unique choice for this theme day.
Very hip!
Ouhhh ! Elégant pour un dimanche Versaillais !
Au fait, je n'ai pas reçu mon bristol.
Hehe - super photo!
What fun pictures! Thank you.
those bows on the shoes are amzingly lovely
What fun! I love this!
