Lunéville castle / le château de Lunéville (1)

Le duc Léopold, insatisfait de son palais ducal à Nancy, fit entièrement reconstruire le château de Lunéville au XVIIIe d'après les plans du château de Versailles. Le château a été embelli et agrandi par Stanislas qui en fit sa résidence principale.
Il est surnommé le "Versailles lorrain" et a été classé monument historique en 1901. Stanislas, dernier duc de Lorraine, y mourut accidentellement en 1766. Cette année marque l'annexion du duché de Lorraine par la France. Le château a connu un grave incendie en janvier 2003. Aujourd'hui il est encore en pleine restauration.

The Lunéville castle was totally rebuilt in the XVIIIth century by The duke Léopold unsatisfied of his palace in Nancy. The Luneville castle has the same plan as Versailles castle.The castle is nicknamed the "versailles of Lorraine". Stanislas, last duke of Lorraine, died in this castle in 1766. The same year, the duchy of Lorraine was annexed by the France. In 2003 a part of the castle burnt. It's not yet rebuilt.

Theme day : my corner local shop

Il n'y a pas beaucoup de magasins dans le quartier où j'habite mais nous avons une boulangerie pâtisserie toute proche, ce qui est déjà bien. J'ai aussi la chance d'avoir un mari qui va me chercher les croissants tous les dimanches matins!

There is not a lot of shop in the area where I live, but we are lucky to have a bread and cake shop. I am all the more lucky as my husband go to this shop every sunday to buy croissants for the breakfast!

There are 174 sites participating in the Monthly Theme day:
