Versailles at Night

February 9, 2011

Aren’t these nighttime photos of Versailles magical?  I spotted them over on Pandora and just had to share.  Perhaps I will watch Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette tonight…

    OH my goodness! How I miss Paris, especially at night. I think I was too young to fully appreciate it’s grandeur but my 12 year old mind still fell in love.

    The photos are originally from Alix at The Cherry Blossom Girl! Her blog has so many unique French treasures. Just so you know for proper credit!

    I’m currently studying the Galerie des Glaces in my art course. It looks absolutely stunning all lit up. Someday I’ll make my way there…

    Ha! I just got Marie Antoinette in the mail today from Netflix (I haven’t seen it yet). The book by Antonia Fraser is really good. Gorgeous pics!
