"L'exubérance baroque" au Petit Trianon I


This flower heart is part of the current 'baroque exuberance' exhibition of ephemeral plant art at the Petit Trianon castle in the palace grounds. This 'baroque heart' is a work of Alexis Tricoire. In the background is the 'French pavilion', built by Ange-Jacques Gabriel for king Louis the 15th.

    That is so cool! And I like the way you have framed the windows with the heart in the second photo.

    EG Wow is right, the second shot with the heart framing the house is really cool. That is a massive heart!

    Just beautiful. It almost looks like the heart is growing on the top of the pavilion.

    I'm enchanted by the small building behind the heart, its architecture is lovely and very French. Plant art...I don't think I've heard of that before. I don't think what they do in a florist shop in a strip mall here would be considered plant art, so I'd be intrigued to see what they do at the castle!

    Oh I love this. Wouldn't that be fun out in the pasture. The horses would probably eat it though.

    Je ne suis pas sûre que ce décor résisterait à une tempête comme celle qui a fait tant de dégat dans le parc mais il est très "royal" car léger, primesautier, divertissant !

    Je ne souhaite que cela continu ; une ville sans fleurs; est une ville morte; et puis avec le cœur.
