Description

This is another castle near home. This one was built by Nicolas Fouquet(surintendant), Louis XIV's prime minister. When his castle was finished, he invites the king and organises the most beautiful party of the XVIIth century. But Louis XIV (the sun king !) turns jealous, arrests Fouquet, puts him in jail and steals all his goods ! Conclusion : 1stly, choose your friends (be careful of the jealous ones !) and 2ndly, if you have powerful friends, don't show them your more powerful or more rich ! Enjoy your week end... And have a good time with your friends (the real ones !!!!!!!!!!!) ;o))

I half expect the 3 musketeers and D'Artagnan to come riding down the drive on the right to the palace, to rescue Madame Bonaceau(sp?) from the clutches of Milady DeWinter and her henchman, Rochefort....LOL Nice photo.
