Today's doorway is one of several doors of the French pavilion at Petit Trianon castle in the palace grounds, which was built by Ange-Jacques Gabriel. This close-up should make T.Becque happy!------------------------------

Quite impressive pavilion.
Awesome. Love the details!!
oui oui j'avais oublié ce papillon français; c'est un balcon ou terrasse ou pas au dessus.
Beautiful glass doorway.
This is very beautiful. Nice photos.
French, as compared to what? I get lost in the details of architectural styles.
la célèbre phrase de Louis XVI offrant le petit trianon a Marie-Antoinette "Vous aimez les fleurs, Madame, j'ai un bouquet à vous offrir. C'est Trianon". La classe hein, Brel avec ces bonbons il est battu ;o))
Oooh and it does, thank you!! Is it as small as it looks? It's so charming, grand architecture on a small scale.
And thank you for the information about the trees. How I wish I were there to see it!
It is a beautiful doorway in such an equally beautiful building. I see T.Beque is asking MORE questions. LOL We love it. MB
Beautiful! Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!!!!!
Classe et classique, le bon goût " à la française"..:)
Heh, it makes me happy too. I agree... grand architecture on a human scale.
Du coup, je suis tentée d'aller voir les oeuvres végétales éphémères du Petit Trianon...
Tu montres la porte et je réalise que le toit est simili terrasse, il me rappelle, avec les balustres, ceux qui entourent la place Stanislas de Nancy...
Pavillon français = jeu de mot ?
tiens je croyais que c'étais la journée porte de sortie
Lovely entrance and sweet reflections !
Léia :)
Beautiful and well proportioned, but why French pavilion? Are there some un-French pavilions?
What a lovely pavilion this is!
You win the contest. Not just Dublin but also several days in Northern Ireland and then back into the Republic. My clues could have been a bit more specific, since Seattle fits them almost as well. You probably know that for decades Guinness, the black stuff, had the slogan "Guinness is good for you."
So, if you would like a print please let me know. You don't have to limit yourself to one. I have a good photo printer. You can click the "email me" link in my profile and give me your mailing address.
@ VP: I have NO idea!
@ Alain : je ne sais pas, il ne se visite pas, je n'ai pas l'impression qu'il y ait un escalier à l'intérieur.
What a exquisite doorway! But I really like the roof.
A very regal looking door - but then, it is Versailles;)
Tiens j'ai lu avec intérêt le commentaire d'Olivier. Qu'est ce qu'on oublie avec le temps.
The doors look very tall. What was this building used for?
Merci pour la réponse.
