Château de Fontainebleau
Chateau de Fontainebleau is one of the oldest castles in France. It dates back to the 12th century and it takes its name from a fountain nearby. The chateau served as a royal palace for more than 700 years for a line of kings. Today, the chateau is a heritage site and a museum.

So turns out everyone on discord goes crazy (/affectionate) for my location scouting
Allow me to summarize my last 8 hours of relentless headcanoning.
Ro’meave castle in O’Khasis = Hohenzollern Castle, Germany
Von Ronsenburg (Rosen’ask) castle in Scaleswind = Ksiaz Castle, Poland
Alliance Assembly on Phoenix Island/MCD Era = Chateau de Fontainebleau [exterior], Parliament of Portugal [interior]
Republic Assembly in Phoenix Drop/MYS Era = Parliament of Hungary [exterior], French Senate Chamber [interior]
New Meteli & Surrounding Countryside/MYS Era = Yorkshire, England
Zvhal Family Ranch in Mystreet, on the outskirts of New Meteli = Yew Tree Farm, Coniston, England
There’s way more pins where these came from

The Kings Velvet Set
This little set was inspired by Chateau de Fontainebleaus stunning Throne room. I had previously recolored other items to fit this set, so why not add the walls too.
The set is comprised of The Velvet wall, The gilded wall, The gilded overdoor and The round formal dining table.
You will need the following meshes.

Benvenuto Cellini (Italian, 1500-1571) • The Nymph of Fontainebleau • c. 1543 • Bronze relief
Commissioned by Francis I, the Nymph of Fontainebleau is a larger-than-lifesize bronze plaque showing a reclining Diana from Greek/Roman mythology. Diana was a huntress and so an ideal subject for the French king who was a passionate hunter of forest game. The nude goddess has a massive stag with huge antlers looking over her shoulder while at the sides of the piece are deer, wild boars, and hunting dogs. The sculpture was originally meant to sit above the entrance gate of the Palace of Fontainebleau, hence its misleading name, but the king never got around to having it installed. When Henry II of France became king (r. 1547-1559 CE), he decided the sculpture was more suitable for a hunting lodge and so gave it to his mistress Diane de Poitiers (1499-1566 CE) for her home, the Chateau d'Anet, south of Paris. Today, the sculpture is in the Louvre museum in Paris.

NOBLE BOY
Well then you won't mind if I take a shot at it.
LAURIE ALAIRE

Laurie excuses himself, Giselle has long since spotted laurie as well. But she has disappeared. He finds her at a balcony, she's overlooking the edge. He walks up to her, lights his cigarette. She looks over at him.
GISELLE DE LA VALLIERE

So I've been thinking about THIS:
for like a whole day now, and it's got me like:
So here are my notes and questions and thoughts:
Gonna be long, going to put under a 'keep reading'
THE PEOPLE INVOLVED
Simon Mirren. He created Versailles, and him posting this image suggests that he's working on a project related to Versailles or the Louis XIV period of history.
'He's back'. The word 'back' here absolutely suggests a return of someone we're familiar with.
Alex Vlahos is INVESTED in whatever it is - suggesting 'HE' is Philippe. He liked the post and commented 'Makes you wonder why he ever went away'...
... and then David Wolstenscroft, the OTHER creator of Versailles, replied saying 'And how'.
This is so cryptic. They all know who 'he' is. Alex seems perhaps wistful, maybe about the end of the show and therefore the end of Philippe. 'And how'... I've no freaking idea what this means. How 'Philippe' went away? How he's come back?
How he went away... the show ended.
How he's come back... well I have a theory later.
This screenshot above is taken from Gabriella Petrillo's Twitter account - as you can see, Alex shared the pic to his Instagram story captioned 'Oh, who invited you?'
Which is in QUOTATION MARKS.
Meaning that this is either Philippe asking the audience, or a general character tagline for the project.
OTHER PEOPLE WHO LIKED THE PIC
Anna Brewster (Montespan), Sarah Winter (Louise de la Valliere), Raphael Roger Levy (The Masked Man in S1), and also Nicki Oebel who works with Alex as the second half of his film company Cowhouse Films
TAGGED NAMES
Tagged in this picture are:
ALEX VLAHOS (and his tag is directly on the man's head, which might not mean anything, but suggests it's him)
EVAN WILLIAMS (not him, Chevy is blond)
GEORGE BLAGDEN (the only other real candidate as to who this could be, but compared side by side to the Versailles promo photos, and with the lack of response from George, I doubt it)
STUART BOWMAN (too young to be him)
Also tagged: Versailles Series, MonChevy Love, Versailles fan club.
Bonus: Helen Mirren (Simon Mirren's aunt), Bella Thorne, both actors, and also Louis Vuitton Official and Harris Reed, both fashion houses/designers
THE IMAGE
OK, so lets assume this is meant to be Philippe.
COSTUME/HAIR
The jacket is the wrong style for 1600s Versailles. It's more 1700s, and the real Philippe died in 1701. The costume designers for the original show were METICULOUS in their choices and the way things were worn. Including COLOUR PALATTES. Every character had their own. And Philippe only wore white like this once... at the costume party in S1 E9 when he dressed identically to Louis. Generally, Philippe wore more grey and silver.
If the figure is Philippe, the hair is the right colour, but shorter, and also half up, which is not a style Philippe ever wore in the show. His hair was sleeker with much looser waves, whereas this man has quite thick hair.
LOCATION
I think the Chateau in the photo is Fontainebleau, where some of Versailles was filmed, but I can't find a direct parallel photo from the position 'Philippe' is standing in. However, Fontainebleau has lots of water near it, like in the photo. (And I also feel like I saw Alex visiting there on Instagram within the past few months but I don't know if my brain is playing tricks on me)
IS IT AI?
My sister pointed out the image could be AI generated and honestly? I agree. No hands on show, and the bottom of the sleeves look a bit weird. No location tagged either. Historical costume that isn't quite right for the period we're assuming it to be, or for Philippe's character, which wouldn't be inkeeping with the series' aesthetic.
Could definitely be AI.
REALITY CHECK
Versailles was the most expensive show Canal+ had ever produced. I think it still is. And a new series, or spinoff series, would be just as expensive to produce. This isn't Game of Thrones we're talking about. The show has its hardcore fans, but it wasn't exactly a household name, which studios would throw masses of money at to reboot.
The story of S3 of Versailles also ended in the early-mid 1680s, just as the cast were reaching the point where it seemed ludicrous that they all still looked so young. The cast are now all doing different projects, several have married and had children since. They've moved on with their lives. To think they'd all return to a reboot or spinoff show... is unlikely.
However...
SAINT CLOUD
Alex Vlahos tormented us all with this snippet of a 'Saint Cloud' concept trailer a couple of months ago. Saint Cloud was the name of Philippe's chateau, and his spinoff idea was always a MonChevy comedy show about their lives and debauchery and stuff at their home.
But let's face it, this whole thing feels unlikely, and more just like a bit of a fun idea than something that a studio would actually produce, and he's only just started writing a concept trailer...
BUT.
SPEAKING OF...
ALEX VLAHOS
I'm gonna do a whole section on Alex Vlahos, because there's no way he's not involved. He, in fact, announced something at the convention that gives me my biggest theory about what this is.
Alex is obviously a driving force for the Versailles fandom. He was a key figure at the conventions and at the con in May I went to, and on Instagram shortly after, he announced he is going to do a Versailles podcast next year. It'll be a 30 episode thing, one for each episode of the show, and he said he'll have guest stars to chat to... including other actors and the showrunners, Simon Mirren and David Wolstencroft.
So.
That is a CONFIRMED upcoming Versailles project.
And so this image?
MY THEORY
I'm running with the theory that it's is a promo image for Alex's Versailles podcast, possibly made with AI.
It would make sense.
It's something for the fans, hence the tagged accounts. It'll feature the tagged actors to talk about the show. It's not something that is going to cost a million euros to make, so is more realistic. It's not a long term commitment for actors who have other jobs now.
It shows a man who looks a bit like Philippe - looking back at the chateau, as if reminiscing about his time there... just as Alex is going to do on his podcast.
BUT'S
Of course, this is just my theory. If it is the case, the fact that this podcast had already been announced twice makes the mysterious nature of this pic/conversation weird. And the fact that it was Simon Mirren posting it first, not Alex Vlahos, would be weird too, although maybe it's just because it's going to be quite an 'official' thing, with the support of the showrunners.
But I digress.
Anyway, on a final note, I would VERY VERY VERY willing to be proven wrong, and have a Versailles S4 or a MonChevy spinoff happening, I might actually cry if it does hahahaha
#versailles#monchevy#alex vlahos#alexander vlahos#versailles series#philippe d'orleans#ngl I mostly wrote this out for me#so I could rid myself of the brain worms lmao#but feel free to add your theories/details#join meeeeeeeeeeee

Visiting the home and studio of the artist Rosa Bonheur. This is a visit I have always wanted to make for a long time. Going with a fellow art Academy friend made it much more fun. We made the trip traveling by train going just one stop beyond Fontainebleau to the town of Thomery. A twenty minute hike through a small section of the forest of Fontainebleau had us breathing the smells of the cool fresh cool air on a path that led directly to this artist's amazing space. Formally named the Chateau de By, this odd structure sits about forty miles southwest of Paris. Bonheur dubbed the space "The Domain of Perfect Affection". Rosa came from a family of artists. I should not have been surprised at the large amount of works she created: drawing, painting, print works and a number of small sculptures well represented in the space. So much of her works seemed to have been collected outside of France. She would be the first woman in French history to receive the French Legion of Honour presented by the Empress Eugenie in 1865. Receiving the honor the Empress would state "Genius has no Sex” The place was an artist's studio that one could only dream of working in today. It was hung with a few works in progress and many references she may have used to help create her works. . . . #thomery #rosabonheur #museerosabonheur #artiststudio #animalartist #fontainebleau (at Musée de l'atelier Rosa-Bonheur) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChtsTXJLOhn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The woman had coffee ready-made in the morning and kept in a pot -jar pour la fraîcheur - she made it by pouring over at least ¼ a litre full of coffee a litre of boiling water (a litre is about an English pint) thro’ a strainer - the café au lait was very good- then saw the handsome cathedral - the monument in the choir to the memory of the dauphin and dauphiness father and mother of Louis 16, very fine - worthy of being the chef d’ oeuvre of Couston - In the carriage again and off at 4 40 – Sens is a nice little village - chiefly one good long street thro’ which we passed terminated by 2 belles portes de ville the country around agreeable, closed in by a beautifully shaped range of limestone or chalk hill beautifully covered with corn and vine and pretty well wooded - soon see the Yonne a broad shallow stream (here and there reeds peeping up in the very middle of it) flowing thro’ a fine valley - the vine [clouded] woody hills with stripes of corn, very pretty - very pretty drive from Sens to Villeneuve Leroy [Villaneuve-le-roi] – a little ville, much smaller than Sens but with 2 ports de ville, as at Sens - At Joigny at 7 10 – beautiful drive long the fine valley at Yonne all the way from Sens to Joigny -we had a most agreeable shady drive, chiefly thro’ the forest from Chailly to Fontainebleau and partly thro’ the forest from F- to Fossard a nice little town – ordered dinner at Joigny (hotel des 5 mineurs in the faubourg on this side the 7 arched handsome over the Yonne stone bridge) and Miss W- and I walked back into the town and up the steep narrow streets to the church not very large but remarkable for its very lofty nave - the chateau was destroyed in the 1st revolution - then walked along the pretty elm shaded public promenade along the river - (soldiers at drill on the ground near it) - out 50 minutes and pretty good dinner at 8 35 - had our bottle of Champagne we brought from my cave rue St. Victor - wants drinking - very fine day – F72° at 10 35 pm
