Sceaux

During the 17th century, Louis XIV's secretary of the treasury, Colbert, ransacked the treasure to transform a modest town house in a prestigious manor, and hosted a succession of lascivious parties for the French aristocracy. After the revolution pointed out these wrongdoings and ravaged the property, the marquis of Trévise took to heart to reinstate the site, whose charms have been immortalized on these HDR pictures, for your viewing pleasure.
