La salle des hoquetons est conservée dans son état originel de 1672. Elle abritait les gardes de la prévôté de l'hôtel autrement dit la police intérieure du château. Les hoquetons devaient leur nom aux tuniques héritées du moyen-âge. Au centre se trouve la Vénus pudique, également dite Vénus Médicis, de Balthazar Keller.

Modest Venus, eh? ;-)
Beautiful, maybe not modest, but who cares!! A terrific capture, as always, Ciel!! Enjoy your weekend!!
It is a magnificent room.
Oh la, more Medici than modest, but sumptuous all the same! That is a gorgeous room, lucky police. (I'll happily trade weather with you!:)
I love that first shot! The floor really adds an interesting perspective.
Quite a place, Ciel.
Un tout petit peu moins discrete que celle de Boticelli... :-) si on compare.
That has to be the grandest 'Police Station I have ever seen ;-)
That's a beautiful place... mais où sont les hoquetons ?!
this is a regal and beautiful place. thanks for sharing.
Oh boy, this makes me want to return quickly and see more of the Palace. I feel that we missed a lot on the "tour."
I don't remember this room specifically but it is gorgeous! And the statue is beautifully done. How would the castle police get anything done in here?
Hope you're on the way to a beautiful weekend!
Makes a person want to get arrested!
How lovely!

Stunning!
Love the effect of the first image and the composition of the second one!
Beautiful statues. I like the design on the floor too.
I love the floor. You always find that kind of tile in "royal places". I may have to use it as inspiration when we build our kitchen and bath!
This place is so magical!
Wonderful and elegant are the words!
happy weekend,
Léia
Is that francaise 'modest' Ciel :) Love the chequerboard flooring, this is subconsciously where I got the idea for my new kitchen floor :)
