12:00 (Montréal).
Thank...Thursday, June 11th 2015,<br />12:00 (Montréal).<br /><br />Thank you for taking time in showing these wonderful pictures of the restaured "Bassin De Latone"! <br /><br />Anyone, seeing the basin in the past 190 years, would and could not have understood (let alone appreciate) what the king had wished, lived with and seen everyday! - can you imagine Versailles, when everything was in this state of beauty?!<br /><br />A point of interest; the "Trianon de marbre" ("Grand Trianon", built in 1686), today all grey and yellowed, presently on top of the restauration list and awaiting a "mécène", is, with its cream-colored "St-Leu" stone, almost entirely clad with the same, three types of marbles used to ornate the basin...<br /><br />I'm looking forward to that!<br /><br />Very cordially,Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06093312391296307088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8101063291894014908.post-61424129234597006332015-06-01T02:25:51.003+02:002015-06-01T02:25:51.003+02:00It is really spectacular, thanks for the link to t...It is really spectacular, thanks for the link to the restoration website, it's an Engineer's dream.
