I dream of Versailles. It may not be the most hospitable of places to reside, or have the most stunning track record as far as preserving life goes, but I still wouldn't mind acquiring the grounds and as someone suggested while there, "throwing a huge party!" A party that rivals the days of Marie Antoinette when debauchery, reckless abandonment, and gratuitous hedonism was the order of the day. Well... maybe things weren't quite as risqué as some might have us believe, but anyone that could live in a "Château" of that magnitude must have been doing something in all those rooms. Right?
Since I couldn't kick all the tourists out and tell them to go eat cake, I thought of an alternative way to properly pay my respects to my playground, Versailles, and show you a different view of the grounds from what I presented last year when Jeff Koons' super shiny pop art sculptures invaded the gilded chambers of the Château - almost, { i stress the "almost" } stealing the estates limelight. You can view those photographs HERE.
I created the images below from some of the photographs I took whilst there as a homage to my future abode. I hope you enjoy viewing them, and that it offers a different perspective to those that have seen the grounds, and even those that have yet to visit. If you are ever on the continent or anywhere near Paris, I highly recommend making the trip to witness an infamously infamous piece of history that has been frozen in time.
