More opulence, more views, more naval opulence...

| Hey, if you're the keeper of the king's furniture, you get to use it, right? |
 |
| Looking across the Place de la Concorde to the National Assembly and the church of the Invalides |
 |
| Artsy/architectural rendering of the twin Hotels; le Madeleine up the Rue Royale and proposed equestrian status of Louis XV |
 |
| Now in the very opulent navy bits... |
 |
| Portraits of great admirals adorn the walls |
 |
| Personal favorite: Jean Bart, greatest of all privateers--captured 386 ships and sank or burned many more--although a commoner, rose to the rank of Louis XIV's admiral of the ocean sea; our appartement, in the 6th, is on Rue Jean Bart |
 |
| High tech depictions of navy balls from different eras |
 |
| Enough opulence already |
 |
| Even naval opulence |
