L'intérieur du Belvédère

I have shown you the Belvédère in Marie-Antoinette's Petit Trianon estate here and here. Some of you wondered about the inside, so here's a peek!
------------------------------------
Je vous ai montré le Belvédère au Petit Trianon ici et ici. Certains d'entre vous se demandaient à quoi ressemblait l'intérieur, voici donc un coup d'oeil !

So elaborate and beautiful with the greenery outside the window.

There's a nice little irony of a shot of the beautiful interior of a place whose name refers to looking out. But then maybe for Marie that was the point.

Randy said...

To live in such a place. Even if only for a day. That is amazing.

I always love chronologies, and I have always liked your portraits in the sidebar. I'd like to see them both higher on the page. As for the photo today, I also love these jewel box buildings. The green coming through the window adds a beautiful flavor.

Another dome. :)

This is so lovely. I like all the painted details. I bet a lot of work went into those walls.

Elegant and elaborate!

Breathtaking! People just don't put that much detail into designing things these days.

Francisca said...

This really is such a well-designed building... so much to see, yet not cluttered.

Ah! We are happy to see this!

I love this building! I own some 18th century porcelain tea cups used by Marie Antoinette in the Belvédère. Great photo. I think this building is going to be renovated soon.
