A winter view of the King's small stables. Until now I had only shown you the big King's stables, which are on the other side of Avenue de Paris. Click on the 'stables' label below for a reminder! There's a strange view of Hoche Place on Artsy Versailles today.----------------------------------------------------
Jusqu'à présent je ne vous avais montré que les Grandes Ecuries du Roi qui se trouvent de l'autre côté de l'avenue de Paris. Vous pouvez les voir en cliquant sur le tag 'stables' ci-dessous. Il y a une vue étrange de la place Hoche sur Artsy Versailles aujourd'hui.
I love the Wenter trees at the King's small stables.
ReplyDelete'Small stables'? Seriously?! That's something to behold.

Both nice shots, but a particularly like the first one with all the trees.
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful to imagine what it would have been like to be a stableboy in the king's small stables.
ReplyDeleteInteresting!
ReplyDeleteAmazing! How did he manage with the "small" stables? :)
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend!
Both are lovely. And artsy.
ReplyDeleteI would not want to clean those stables. Nice shot.
ReplyDeleteObviously their idea of small is quite different than ours! I like those dark lines of trees against the place.
ReplyDeleteThe small stables, eh. Beautiful no matter what. MB
ReplyDeleteThat king sure must have liked his horses.
ReplyDeleteEt maintenant, c'est le petit parking du président...grandeur et décadence.
ReplyDeleteHeureusement que tu precises "petites" ecuries.. :o)
ReplyDeleteJ'aime bien la couleur du ciel!
Thanks for the redirect to
ReplyDelete'Artsy Versailles'. Ya, neat composition... could be creepy!
The King must have had a lot of horses.
ReplyDeleteI can only imagine the big stables...
ReplyDeleteOh to step back in time and hear the clatter of all those hooves on the cobbles. xxxx
ReplyDeleteSmall eh?! Well for a King I suppose!
ReplyDeleteLovely blue skies in these, Ciel, contrasted with the fence and trees.

Small??!! Surely you jest! I'd like to see the grand ones ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love the frieze at the top of the stables with the horses looking as though they are about to take off...this is one of my favorite places in the Chateau area. Strange how the passage of time has changed it so much from its original state...
ReplyDeleteWow, what a property! Oh to be royalty, right?
ReplyDeleteThe way you composed the bottom shot is so cool!
