I never took a guided tour in Versailles (lucky you Odette!  ) but many of the rooms were also for royal children. Louis XV had 10 kids, including 7 daughters and only the eldest one got married, the others stayed in Versailles. He also had 7 grandkids by his son, who became orphans quite early. And other rooms were also reserved for the mistresses  . Let's go together, if you're not far ! Exactly, some appartments were for the mistresses (ex La Pompadour) and their children (and servants). It was very crowded  Thank you Marie! I'm currently living quite far from Versailles (800 km?). But maybe one day we can try to go together? |

The Palace of Fontainebleau has the Cour du Cheval Blanc.
The Cour du Cheval Blanc is also known as the Courtyard of Farewells.
This name commemorates the leavetaking ceremony at the foot of the staircase in honor of Emperor Napoleon I because Napoleon left Fontainebleau for the Island of Elba in 1814.
