This is Versailles in the days before king Henri IV as seen by Olivier Pâques and Jacques Martin. Historical comic authors usually do a lot of research so this might just be what it looked like in the 1500s. But no, these aren't mountains in the background, merely clouds!Versailles avant Henri IV, vue par Olivier Pâques et Jacques Martin. Et non ce ne sont pas des montagnes, juste des nuages !

Brilliant. This must be an incredible exhibit to view. Looking at historic views of cities, towns and villages is always a challenge to find what is the same, what has changed and what may actually remain.
Ein gelungenes Kunstwerk. Mir fehlen Wolken. Einen guten Dienstag dir.
So, which one is your house?
A lovely concept of your city. Jack's comment gave me a good laugh.
It's looking a little empty!
This must have been a delightful exhibit - thanks for 'capturing' it for us!
It must have been beautiful with all that countryside.
heureusement il y a plus de portes à prendre désormais
c'est fou comme le Français est une langue concise, 7 lignes en anglais et juste 2 en français ;o))
beau dessin
Great. For me Breugel's paintings always capture that moment in medieval life.
So much fun, these comics. Beautiful.
Un aspect différent de Versailles. J'aime bien.
Versailles avant Versailles ! J'adore la precision du trait!
Lovely mural!

My, my, how Versailles has grown! It makes for an interesting comparison.
I bit smaller back then, right? :-) Cool!
beautiful~
I can't even imagine Versailles looking like this Ciel, but everything had to start somewhere oui!
This comic takes what could be a plain scene and turns it into such a colorful piece of art.
Si calme, si petite, si scénique, si majestueuse!
Et le ciel bleu est incroyable! ;)

This is much better than my old postcards!
I enjoy seeing what the countryside might have looked like back then!
Again cool. Wish you'd left this jpeg a little larger for a closer look, Ciel. :-)
