On Monday, I was telling you about the Versailles period costume ball. Here are a few more pictures I hope you will enjoy in... regal fashion!---------------------------------
Lundi, je vous entretenais du bal de Versailles. Voici quelques photos supplémentaires que j'espère que vous apprécierez de manière... royale !
Ah - the owners of those happy feet, one presumes. Must have been a ball. (Oh, so it was in fact!)
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed with the costumes! Where was the ball held - on the grounds of the Palace? What costume did you wear?
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! who goes to these balls? Were you there in costume? Do they rent these amazing outfits?
ReplyDeleteThe sun in the first picture is so great! It seems that if the gate is open everybody will be personally greeted by the sun...
ReplyDeleteGreat capture!

Beautiful looking costumes.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! Did you participate?
ReplyDeleteCette photo est mal cadrée nous ne te voyons pas dans cette magnifique robe .
ReplyDeleteQuel dommage !!
Très bien cette photo du soleil très puissant, tu es une passionnées de cette époque, cela se ressent sur ton blog. Merci beaucoup pour ton message.
ReplyDeleteWhat sumptuous costumes!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! I like especially the first one - this gate in the sun rays looks like a gate to another world:)
ReplyDeleteLe contre jour passé à la grille à frites donne à la photo du dessus des airs de bal des vampires....
ReplyDeleteThese could be frames from Sofia Coppola's 'Marie Antoinette'! :-)
ReplyDeleteFabulous. Love these "period" shots.
ReplyDeleteThose costumes are just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteDid you get to dress up? I've always wanted to wear one of these gorgeous dresses and have my hair done. They were so fashionable! I love to watch Marie Antoinette because of the costumes!
ReplyDeleteTrès belles photos

ReplyDelete@ tous : le soleil pour le roi soleil, ça s'imposait...
ReplyDelete@ Cergie : une grille à frites ? Le bal des vampires ? As-tu lu le journal lundi ? Il était question de mystérieuses hémorragies parmi les participants, ce lundi.
@ all: no, I didn't dress up and didn't participate. Not my crowd plus I would be more into older history than that of Versailles. I suppose it could have been fun. The ball wasn't held at the palace but the gates were the meeting point.
Ooh, I really like the shot of the costumes. Very artsy and it captures the mood of the moment perfectly. The sunburst in the top shot is also quite beautiful.
ReplyDeleteabsolument féérique! et les derniers billets avec l'illustration du thème très originale.
ReplyDeleteJe viens de dérouler tous les billets en retard et je te dis Bravo!!!
bises de Bretagne
On sonne à la grille du château !
ReplyDeleteLaquais, ouvrez je vous prie.
bonsoir , merci pour ta visite , j'avoue que ces costumes d un autre temps sont bien beaux , bonne soirée
ReplyDeleteI am very glad we are not expected to dress like that any more. it may have looked elegant but imagine the dry cleaning bills today.
ReplyDeleteUn mets de roi, ce contre-jour subtil et ce rai de soleil sur les costumes...J'adore le commentaire de Bob, moi j'avais pensé à la chaleur mais pas à la note du pressing!
ReplyDeleteDon't shoot me but I prefer jeans. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHehe - it seems to be that you have moved to the XVII century, but please, be back:)
ReplyDeleteStunning first photo, superb light composition.
This is the type of bal I'd like to attend:)
ReplyDeletewow! what fun! :) I wonder where they get their costumes? And especially those shoes!
