The museum of the castle of Dieppe has a collection of ivory objects, like this pretty frigate, presented in a transparent showcase that allows the reflection of the beautiful chandelier of the ceiling.
In the 17th century, an ivory trade developed between Dieppe and Guinea. The town became prosperous again thanks to the work of ivory, whose quality became famous throughout France and beyond. The castle museum of Dieppe today presents the largest collection of ivory in Europe with more than a thousand pieces finely worked. The town is also on the Road of the Ivory and the Spices which crosses the department and which will allow you to discover the various sites related to this subject.
Le musée du chateau de Dieppe (Haute Normandie) possède une collection d’objets en ivoire, comme cette jolie frégate, présentée dans une vitrine transparente qui permet le reflet du joli lustre du plafond.
Le château-musée de Dieppe présente aujourd’hui la plus importante collection d’ivoire d’Europe avec plus de mille pièces finement travaillées. La ville se situe aussi sur la Route de l’Ivoire et des Epices qui sillonne le département et qui vous permettra de découvrir les différents sites ayant trait à ce sujet.

For the challenge of this weekend proposed by Daily Post concerning the nostalgia, I shall say simply that I regret the former beautiful constructions, because now the architects build well something else, even if sometimes they try to get closer to it.
It is necessary to say also that the society changed and that then, it was preferable to be on the side of the well-to-do.

In response to The Daily Post‘s weekly photo cha llenge: « From Every Angle. »
Near Compiègne in the Oise, the castle of Pierrefonds, dismantled in the seventeenth century, was rebuilt in the nineteenth century by the architect Viollet-le-Duc in an extraordinary interpretation of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.
Près de Compiègne dans l’Oise, le château de Pierrefonds, démantelé au XVIIe siècle, a été recréé au XIXe siècle par l’architecte Viollet-le-Duc en une extraordinaire interprétation du Moyen Âge et de la Renaissance.

The topic proposed by the Daily Post is to design our own planet !
Le sujet est de concevoir notre propre planète.
Of course, this would be a place where it’s always nice, where people are always nice. Everyone have a beautiful house, could travel as he likes. There have beautiful plants, gentle animals, many cats and no snakes. There would be beautiful fairies to satisfy our desires, free lollipops in stores and beautiful cakes.
There would be beautiful ships.
There would be no more sickness, or death, and people live an everlasting love.
Maybe would it be boring ? or maybe not?
(I inspired me a lot of Disneyland Paris to illustrate this article).
Bien sûr, ce serait un endroit où il fait toujours beau, où les habitants sont toujours gentils. Chacun aurait une belle maison, pourrait voyager comme il lui plaît. Il y aurait de belles plantes, de gentils animaux, beaucoup de chats et pas de serpents. Il y aurait de belles fées pour satisfaire nos désirs, des sucettes gratuites dans les magasins, ainsi que de beaux gâteaux.
Il y aurait de beaux navires.
Il n’y aurait plus de maladies, ni de morts, et les personnes vivraient un amour éternel.
Peut être s’y ennuirait-on ? ou peut être pas ?
(je me suis inspirée beaucoup de Disneyland Paris pour illustrer cet article).

En promenade cet après-midi dans la banlieue parisienne, en repérage d’ailleurs,j’ai pu visiter le château de St Germain en Laye. Il y avait des artistes qui ‘s’exprimaient’ dans les jardins dessinés par Le Nôtre (comme ceux de Versailles).
Et au milieu d’un bassin, j’ai remarqué ce lit à baldaquin !
A walk this afternoon in the suburbs of Paris, I visited the castle of St Germain en Laye. There were artists who ‘spoke’ in the gardens designed by Le Nôtre (like Versailles).
And in the middle of a pond, I noticed this poster bed!
Voici l’explication de l’oeuvre, le lit devient un vaisseau fantôme. J’aime assez l’allégorie :
Here is the explanation of the work, the bed becomes a ghost ship. I quite like the allegory:
