La Maréchalerie

This, ladies and gents, is the back of the king's small stables, which I showed you here. It is also now la Maréchalerie, Versailles' contemporary art centre, linked to the school of architecture. There's stained glass today on Artsy Versailles.

Mesdames et messieurs, voici les petites écuries du roi vues de l'autre côté. C'est surtout maintenant la Maréchalerie, le centre d'art contemporain, lié à l'ENSA-V. Il y a un vitrail ce jour sur Artsy Versailles.

  2. I like the domes in this style of architecture. It's such a nice way to relate the building to the sky. Nicely framed here by the trees.

  3. A gorgeous building in lush surroundings. And a good way to build a stable path for artists and students! :-)

  5. Nice shot. The building is nice but the trees really stole my attention. I wonder how old they are.

    The dome is, well, incredible. Perfectly framed by those trees. I found this amazing old abandoned amusement park today that had similarly enormous trees.

  10. Je ne sais quoi admirer le plus : le ciel et la coupole plombés, les volumes, la lumière, la douceur des teintes ou les troncs vénérables ; alors je vais m'en tirer d'une pirouette :

    Quand le maréchal rit
    Dans la maréchalerie
    Tous les maréchals (?) rient
    Dans la maréchalerie
