The Glory of France



I love the design of these cards.  Too bad this is the last one I have.  Anyway, the Fontainbleu Palace is one of those European monstrosities that every king, for centuries, had to add his own personal touch with a new building, wing, or garden.  The Great Gallery of Francis I started life as a hallway that connected the King's apartments and his private chapel.  Easy access for monarchs after starting a war or killing a few peasants.
