Chateau De Villette

Ha! I thought this was your house!!

Besides seeing more of the chateau in photos this was also interesting:

Designated as one of the most significant historical chateaux in France, Villette was

designed by Francois Mansart (1598-1666) for the Count of Aufflay, Jean Dyell II, who

served as Louis XIV’s ambassador to Italy. Upon completion of the design, the construction

was led by Jules Hardouin-Mansart (1646-1708), a lead architect for King Louis XIV and the

nephew of Francois Mansart. Jules designed the Petit Trianon, the Queen’s Staircase and

the internationally-famous Hall of Mirrors. This pedigree, in combination with the elegance,

beauty and classical design of Chateau de Villette, earned it the designation, “Le Petit

Versailles.”

A very real touch. It seems to work so well because your room is not busy, yet the scene is rather busy, yet divine. You get the best of both worlds without it being overwhelming. :yes:
