This was the first round window to be put into any building in France. I love the work around the window.These really tall windows are as big as doors. You know why? Because it's so hot in Paris in the summer (esp. August) and there's no air conditioning! It was the end of September when we were there and it was miserable. The humidity was as high as the temps. I'm telling you, it was a two-shower day every day. ")
There were portraits in almost every room and paintings on the ceilings. Everytime I tried to take a photo of the ceiling, someone would bump into me and knock me around and my picture would end up blurry. It was incredibly crowded. Pat has been several times and she said it didn't matter what day she's gone, it's always been that crowded. I'm sorry, but I can't remember who the ladies are in these portraits. I'll have to do some research and edit this post later.
This set of doors (sorry for the tilt :) was in Marie Antionette's room, but there were many sets of doors like this throught the apartment.
