As the palace had many paintings I also wanted to post them here. This was a luxurious weekend trip with Sevde back then for Alice’s wedding. I call it luxurious because just for two nights we flew to Paris and as there was an election on Sunday (second round of presidential election on 24th of August we had guilty conscious and returned before the election.)
Let’s begin with the legend herself:
Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette and Family
Rebecca and Eliezer – Paolo Veronese, 1580 Queen Marie Antoinette of France and two of her Children in the Park of Trianon – Adolf Ulrik Wertmüller , 1785
Marie Leszczinska Queen of France – Louis Tocqué, 1740 Marie Leszczinska Queen of France – Carlo Van Loo, 1747
Sevde & me
The Coronation of Napoleon – Jacques-Louis David, 1807 Marie Antoinette de Lorraine Habsbourg and her Children – Elisabeth Louise Vigee-Lebrun, 1787
Louis-Philippe swearing an oath to uphold the constitution in the Chamber of Deputies – Eugène Devéria
Louis-Philippe’s Arrival at the Place de l’Hôtel de Ville on July 31 1830 -Léon-Jean-Bazille PERRAULT, 1837
I had to put on lipstick just by Versailles
And as a last one, the wedding venue: Abbaye des Vaux de Cernay , a12th-century abbey, close to Versailles
