A history of French architecture from the death of Mazarin till the death of Louis XV, 1661-1774 . oms en suite with one main staircase and two subordinate stairs. ForM.

The Chateau de Turny in Burgund)-, if by Le Vau, must havebeen a fine house.

Unfortunately Marotomitted the name of the architect, but this may have been a mature Marots scale is in toises (fathoms). The entrance hall, 60 feet by 37 feet, with itscolumns and its double flight of stairs leading out of it, suggested interesting possibilitiesin the design. ? No. 24, Quai de Bethune. Pl. IV.
