\nCourtyard of the palace.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The magnificent Galerie des Glaces<\/a> (Hall of Mirrors).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A strange juxtaposition – an artwork of stilettos<\/a> made of pots and pans entitled “Marilyn” in the Hall of Mirrors.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

(L) Grande chambre de la Reine<\/a> – Marie Antionette<\/a> “escaped” from the Paris mob on the night of 6th Oct 1789 \u00a0through the concealed door on the left. (R) Room in the apartment of the Dauphin<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

(L) Rear view of the main palace. (R) View over the grounds<\/a> from the palace.<\/p>\n
