We were therefor ages before someone came along and opened up the barrier. We were lucky not to be fined, most likely they saw the Greek number plates and though "Forget it"!<br />Susan.x<br />Greeker than the Greekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01369300622664102763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-3694405935227183972015-12-16T14:49:38.051+01:002015-12-16T14:49:38.051+01:00Hmm...well, at least on the surface?

Most of the rooms were rather dark so shooting without a tripod and my shaky hands meant using a stronger ISO than I would have liked, hence the grain. And yes, there is a trick to stained glass - you set the light based on the window, not the surroundings - not that I had time to do that! - again, all of these were quickly taken shots!Heather Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01316279029849503437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-39895257284211113132015-12-16T14:37:38.818+01:002015-12-16T14:37:38.818+01:00In French too? *sputter, sputter* Oh no, my accent...In French too? *sputter, sputter* Oh no, my accent being what it is I think that I could do more harm than good!

Especially the pictures of the Louis SV salon -- in spite of the size and the stunning formality, it looks like a room where people could sit and chat and be comfortable together.<br /><br />Agreed that the Duc shouldn't rest on his laurels; surely he must realize the power of social media by now -- and you'd be a wonderful choice to record a dual-language audio tour for him.Emmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17365143273404503659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-59993308340423638262015-12-15T04:25:03.497+01:002015-12-15T04:25:03.497+01:00I don't have a lot of memories of touring the ...I don't have a lot of memories of touring the interior...and now I know why!
