06-07 Versailles

This is a Second Empire (Napoleon III) Versailles building.
Was built between 1864 and 1866 to be the Prefectorial office of Seine-et-Oise department.
Still it is.

I loved my visit to Vewrsailles - I couldn't believe the amazing grandeur that was on show.
You show it well here Marielou - I'd love to go back there again one day.
