The THREE grand avenues run together into the great Place d'Armes, from which the palace gates open, upon its front. The middle approach is the Avenue de Paris. Right and left are the avenues of St. Cloud and Sceaux. Boulevard de la Reine is aside from all, skirting the park on the right or north side, and passing, a little way down, into the Avenue de Trianon, which starts out from the Alley of the Fountains at the north-east front of the pleasure-grounds. The Trianons lie to the north-east, communicating with the centre of the palace grounds by the Queen's Alley. VOL. II. B |
