It truly is gigantic! We were also lucky that it was fully open. Apparently, in order to go inside l’Orangerie building, you’ve got to have a guide with you these days, but it was open when we visited. The architecture is spectacular, those trees have some fabulous winter residence 😂
I LOVE you guys! 🙂 I can’t even leave my house and in another country, and so to see all this and these BEAUTIFUL Private Rooms of Marie Antoinette is SO wonderful - Thank You SO much! I think you got chills because you were picking up Marie's 'presence'. I was feeling it here too - and I wasn’t even there! I feel a strong connection to this great Lady - what BEAUTIFUL taste she had! I just don’t know how they could do those wicked things to her - it breaks my heart... She may have lived a lavish lifestyle - but she certainly paid for it dearly with what happened to her, and so we cannot begrudge it... It’s amazing how they’ve managed to keep everything as it was for all these years! I do envy you both for seeingit and actually being there... Please keep up the good work in your support of her; she will love you both for it!
Salut Guys! 😳😳 wow! Thank you for showing this special part. I am just watching and keeping quiet..it's incredible the atmosphere. And this is on screen. I can only imagine the feeling of being there. Is it generally on the darker side in there,or just the camera? Very,very interesting. All the details,furnitures,style. And the garden in sooo beautiful I agree! Those lemons and roses 🤩. It's a must visit this place. That's for sure. Never been there,so thank you so much! 👍🏻✨️🤍
Salut! Glad you enjoyed this! Yes, it was rather dark inside and the camera was working its best in those lighting conditions. Some rooms were lit with dim lights and the daylight was not let in to preserve the items inside, especially the fabrics and colour that can be very fragile to direct sunlight. You should definitely visit it whenever you have an opportunity to. It’s totally different from the rest of the domain.
The door she used is on the other side of her chambre. One can connect to it via le cabinet de la chaise the connecting door for which you can see at 2:00 mark. The three spaces are interconnected, la Méridienne, le cabinet de la chaise and l’escalier (the staircase). By saying « this space » we mean the entire three connected areas as we were literally next door to it. We didn’t say she fled through la Méridienne. Apologies for the confusion.
