Saint-Louis cathedral seen through promising pear trees at the king's vegetable garden, not far from the Orangerie. It is a wonderful place, created between 1678 and 1683 that has for the most part remained as it was then. You can read all about it by clicking here. Below are some of the pear varieties that are found in Versailles.-----------------------------------------
La cathédrale Saint-Louis, vue au travers de poiriers qui promettent une belle récolte au Potager du Roi, non loin de l'Orangerie. C'est un endroit merveilleux, créé entre 1678 et 1683 et globalement inchangé de nos jours. Pour plus d'infos, c'est par ici. Ci-dessous, certaines des variétés de poiriers cultivées à Versailles.
lovely picture

Nice photo seen through pear tree. It makes me feel like I'm really there, sneaking a peek at the way the royals live. ;-)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for framing the subject. I'm afraid our Saint Louis cathedral doesn't have any pear trees growing around it, or much of anything else edible.
ReplyDeleteI love the pear tree in the foreground with the limb adding to the framing. This is an excellent composition.

I've got a pear tree in fact but it's frightfully old now and I bet this one is in a lot better shape.
ReplyDeleteIts amazing that it was built in five years. A plentiful of craftsmen and labour I guess.
ReplyDeletesuperbe première photo, avec ce cadre naturel autour de cathedrale
ReplyDeleteExcellent image of the Cathedral framed by the leaves.
ReplyDeleteIt's me again...I looked at this photo again...and it finally hit me: This could be a vintage postcard! That's exactly what it looks like. Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteJ’aime bien cette photo. L’arbre fait un joli cadre du paysage.
ReplyDeleteVerdant and green. Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteL'oeil du potager...
ReplyDeleteles cils en branches de poirier s'ouvrent sur la cathedrale...
Les fruits et legumes sont ils en vente pour la consommation?
@Marie-Noyale : oui!
ReplyDeleteYour photo-works grown better and better!
ReplyDeleteOh, this is a lovely shot. I love the close-up of the pear tree that so beautifully frames the stunning edifice in the background. Well done!
ReplyDeleteSuperbe on dirait le générique d'un dessin animé avec le chateau vu de l'arbre
ReplyDeleteQuelles couleurs !!
Imagine, la vue aurait pu être la même, ily a plus de 300 ans ! Si ce n'est pas merveilleux d'avoir su préserver l'environnement...
ReplyDeleteMagnifique prise de vue Ciel.
ReplyDeleteWonderful composition. Your pictures just keep getting better and better.
ReplyDeleteFantastic composition!
ReplyDeleteGreat composition- original too as far as I'm concerned. I've never seen anything close to a duplicate shot at SLC.
