Finishing up at Louie's place we headed over to see the Queen's apartments.
I think they ran out of gold after they finished this room!
This pattern was all over this place! It was on the blankets, on the walls, the curtains, the carpets, the stools!! The pattern seemed to crawl into my eyes and wouldn't leave! I liked it - just not EVERYWHERE!
This wall has the doorway that the Queen escaped through when Versailles was stormed during the Revolution. On the Left of the doorway? It's the Queen's jewelry box! Proving once again, that I am a rank amateur when it comes to accessories!
When we felt like our eyes were going to explode, we escaped to the Dauphin's apartments. These were inhabited by Louis XIV's son. He never became King. He lived in these rooms for many, many years but, died before his father. His son, Louis XIV's grandson inherited.
On the way, we wandered in and out of a few rooms used by the Royal family. We kept finding benches and chairs that you couldn't sit on! And believe me, I wanted a seat!! It's a marathon walking all over the Chateau! They are such teases...
On to the rooms!
I was obsessed with this carpet. It's original to the room.
Up Next: The Grounds of Versailles.
