434. The mob invades

Versailles

Back to Versailles to do the Palace today and as expected, it was amazing, must have cost a bundle, no wonder the peasants reacted.
The second fence to the large inner courtyard 

The First Chateau, the original building stands in the middle
The Kings Bedchamber is on the first floor, the balcony
supported by the eight red columns.
The is the balcony where Louis XVI, Marie Antonette and the child
appeared to face the mob before being taken away

The Kings Bedchamber
The gold fence is original
The apartments are quite stunning

The Gallery of Battles is just that, the works are vast 
I think this is twenty five metres wide
The Royal Chapel second story





The very famous Hall of Mirrors where the
Treaty of Versailles was signed by the allies in 1919

Roman's hotel
Glueing up the roof bars for Teasel
