ruminations about architecture and design

le petit trianon

This is my vote for the most handsome building in France. In terms of proportion, restraint  and use of materials it is an excellent piece of architecture. The same cannot be said about the political conditions under which it was created, but architecture has always had a devil's bargain with clients. I hope that it is open to the public now.
