Staging the Prince's Castle

Following on from looking into Louis XIV, for the stage design I wanted to look into one of Louis' greatest achievements - The Palace of Versailles to get ideas for how to design the castle.



Although I love the grand and sumptuous feel of the Palace it feels too overdone for the look I want to go for. I want to go for more of a simple elegance, a large space filled with selected decorations to suggest splendor.

I do like the ideas of the high walls and arches and alcoves, something I can incorporate into my stage design.
