We were there during our honeymoon back in 2000. It is a magnificent place. When we went, the gardens had recently sustained damage.
That "fake" perspective is amazing. Looks like as if the palace is extending onto the ocean.
Love France.

Hi Tony,
The American Hospital in Paris has a stellar reputation, so it's a nice place to be born at!
And that Orient Poseidon is HUGE :-\ (and stylish), I like it but it's a little bit too big and heavy for me.
That's a nice picture of the "Gallerie des Glaces", where King Louis XIV would meet the court everyday 300 years ago. I often walk past it (just outside) when I go for a walk in the gardens of the castle, and marvel at the fact that I can enjoy this wonderful place as a simple citizen of a democracy.
