Palace of Versailles 1994

B&W conversion of an old scanned photo taken on our trip to UK/Europe in 1994. Palace of Versailles c1664 Wanting to escape the busy life in Paris, and to keep the nobility under his control, Louis XIV built this chateau in which he set up home and installed the government. Louis Le Vau was commissioned to renovate and extend an old hunting lodge, Le Notre created the gardens from swamp land, and Mansart masterminded the hydraulic display of the fountains. www.paris-tourisme.com/places/versailles/ Alphabet site V

Hard Rock Cafe Paris

Tshirt from a trip to Paris in 1994. Since 1991 the Hard Rock Café Paris has been the undisputed home of American culture in Paris. All the classic style of the Parisian terrace paired with the crowd-pleasing comforts of American food. Just a two minute walk from the hustle and bustle of Place de l‘Opéra, the Hard Rock Cafe is the spot to kick back and sample the most authentic and delicious American cuisine Paris has to offer. cafe.hardrock.com/paris
