I too am an admirer of the ground level architecture of Antiquity. It was one of the first I "sim hopped"and discoveredwhen I originally came to SL. It was a ground breakingbuild and of much interest . Is there anyway it can be archived in inventory ? salute LA.

Mademoiselle de Sade, I have no fear your "salon" would be as energetic as Madam Geoffrin or as intellectual as the marquise du Deffand.

And as we know the18th century "salon's" were based by The first renowned salon in Franceat theHotel de Rambouillet which its hostess, Roman-born Catherine de Vivonne, marquise de Rambouillet (15881665), and ran from 1607 until her death. She established the rules of etiquette of the "salon" which resembled the earlier codes of Italian chivalry.

Asmy current project is to finishan estate and manage prims to their best, as noted with a heavy heart.

I anticipate investing in a Parisianarrondissement or .....three, to recreate the Parisian "hotel Particulair" and the atmosphere of the Parisian salons, as an adjunct to our beloved "Versailles". I look forward to your participation. As always, LA

Mademoiselle Mesler you are quite correct, travel abroad is tantalising andinvigorating.

(especially for a builder)

But capitulation to the cosmopolitan and hedonistic Capital was always inevitable if one enjoys, asmay allsay, the finer things in life

I couldremain on my rural estate at Montpellier, but the question would always remain . what if? LA.

Agree'd (Aloys) 1715 to 1793 wasn't all Versailles (or Castles, Stephanie), a legacy left by Louis XV'scousin Duc d'Orleans no doubt......but with the likes of Htel de Soubise , Htel Carnavalet & Htel de Lauzun in mind, to name just a few, seems like a perfect adjunct to the prospects of Versailles, rising likethe phoenix .Mind the success of this story (hotels) would be maximise primage, although they were not Chateau's they were almost as sumptuous. I'm tinkering away in Pavane at the moment using prims, sculpts and mesh to see what value I can extract from SL's 15k prim limit. ( I've been away in exotic lands for the past 2 years, living in prim luxury). Im also gauging interest, which from these posts, and others say there is a warming to the idea. I am a builder. I love 18th century architecture. I love 18th century role play ................. where else is there to be? !

Hark back to the days of "Woody Creek" c.2010 ... Ahh to find a compound like that. Which got me thinking about Paris and the hotels that abounded in 18th century Paris .... what a wonderful idea to make a sim (or three) of principle aristocratic hotels, where families resided before (and after,a hard days, weeks work)attending Versailles. Shootme at the first moment, if this has be thought of before (I have been away 4 years) cheers LA.
