There is so much history around la Salle des Etats (also known as la Salle du Conseil) that I cannot possibly retell it all here. But in this beautiful room is where the kings of the 15th and 16th century conducted the important business of state. The one detail I will point out is the motif on the column in the foreground that represents Queen Anne de Bretagne (married to King Charles VIII).
Now about the photo: if you're thinking that it looks a little strange (for example the central columns in the background getting wider and wider), it's because this is actually two photos taken from different spots and sewn together as one.
The arches are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a tricky stitch, you did a good job here.

ReplyDeleteHappy that you are back .I feel quite fine thanks. I will start my job in May and until then I'm taking care of some chronical sick children in hospital a really fulfilling time.
