HOW BEAUTIFUL IT IS!


 Comme c'est beau!
A late winter view of the remaining water basin at the Parc Royal de Marly-le-Roi.
It was in this royal domaine, half-way between Versailles and Saint Germain-en-Laye, that Louis XIV constructed a small château where he would go to relax and get away from the trappings of royal court of Versailles. The Sun King's favorite retreat, with its enchanting pavillons, gardens, and gigantic cascading fountain, was unfortunately destroyed following the Revolution.
