Dolmabache Palace



Wednesday 7 April 2010

On Monday we visited the older palace, and today we saw the more modern one, the palace built and decorated in western style. All the gilt and glitz was a little overwhelming for me - every inch was carved and painted and swirled and inlaid and hung with crystals. (There was even a staircase with a crystal banister!)

It certainly was impressive, and I do with I could show you the chandelier that was probably the size of my parents' house, but cameras were not allowed into the palace. Here is a guard on the grounds.
