Praslin Bedchamber, in the Chateau de Vaux-le-Vicomte, designed by Louis Le Vau, 1612-70, and built 1658-61 for marquis Nicolas Fouquet, in Maincy, Seine-et-Marne, France. This was originally Mme Fouquet's antechamber but was renovated by Jean-Baptiste Berthier for Cesar-Gabriel de Choiseul in the 18th century. The room is decorated in Louis XVI style, with a duchesse brisee chaise long and early 18th century wooden cabinet. The portrait is of Cesar-Gabriel de Choiseul. The chateau is built in Baroque style, with decoration by Charles Le Brun, 1619-90, and grounds designed by landscape architect Andre le Notre, 1613-1700. The chateau is listed as a historic monument. Picture by Manuel Cohen
