Two pictures of the frozen pond of 'le rocher' (the rock) which was designed by landscape painter Hubert Robert and built by Richard Mique in 1783 for Marie-Antoinette's garden at Petit Trianon castle. It is currently undergoing restoration and can only be seen from the back though it is possible to approach it along this lovely heather path and then walk around it to its neighbour the Belvedere (seen here in the last pic).
Voici deux photos de la mare gelée au rocher du jardin anglais au Petit Trianon. Il fut conçu par le peintre Hubert Robert et construit par Richard Mique en 1783 et est actuellement en cours de restauration. On peut toutefois en approcher le long de la bruyère et le contourner pour se rendre au Belvédère.

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely area.
ReplyDeleteI remember visiting with my mum a number of years ago and there was a couple making out pretty heavily on the grass outside the Petit Trianon. I think they were somewhere in your last photo.
This looks like a lovely tranquil kind of spot
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a beautiful place to walk even when there is a thin sheet of ice on the water.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful look at this part of the property. In winter, more ice would only add.
ReplyDeletePositively enchanting!
ReplyDeleteQuite different from last days' pictures, and I like this place very much!
