The times when Louis XIV, Francois de Villeroy and Catherine de Villeroy
were playing as children at the courtyard of the Cremerie de Paris / Hotel de Villeroy are long ago ...


The times they lived at the Chateau de Versailles are also long ago ...


But the magic is still there
even though the perception of the moon has changed ...
But would Louis XIV have imagined that one day
someone that walked on the moon
would actually come to walk around his park ?

Magic places attract magic people

This long article has tried to explain a little the connections
between Louis XIV and the Cremerie de Paris.

But even centuries later unusual people are still in connection with our Cremerie
With the most "adventurous" one
we had the idea to make a little excursion to Versailles ...

The pictures were lost on the harddrive of an old computer
but while writing this article in december 2013
the editor had the idea
to search through some old emails ...
and thanks to the amazing quality of Gmail
suddenly reappered an email from October 2005 with some "souvenir pictures".


In the park of Versailles
on the left of this picture the man from the Moon
on the right the Grand Trianon



Snapshots with the man from the Moon, the same man you see in the Video below.





In the snapshot pictures there is also his wife Lois,
the editor of the article
and a women with sunglasses.

Thanks to her we knew many things about the Cremerie
long before our times. Back in 1938
Coco Chanel took her for the first time ...
She has allowed us to go by the barriers of time ...

The woman with the glasses was a legend all by herself,
soon we will write an article about her.
Already over 100 years old
she still fascinated the man that was on the first flight to the mood ...

Half a century earlier ....
she had already fascinated the one that took the decision
to go for that trip.
In fact she was the girlfriend of his older brother Joseph Kennedy.


And again some time before in 1930,
year the astronaute was born
she fascinated a man who had also widely contributed to the fligh,
due to his multiple inventions he had made.
Thomas Edison.

Edison, was the father of the light bulps that light up
the Chateau de Versailles at night.
He had left her a little broche, a flower with two pearls.
When he was younger he had bought the broach in Paris
while visiting a friend, Gustave Eiffel.
La broche, deux petites fleurs avec comme tête une perle (tansformable en boucle d'oreille)
s'était egarée une fois ... et l'éditeur de cet article a eu la mission d'aller la récuperer.
Suite à cette mission il a connu l'histoire de la broche.
Ils aimaient tous le parc de Versailles ...

Eh oui l'achat de cette petite broche remonte dans le temps ...
Mais Louis XIV c'est encore beaucoup plus loin ...
Et les débuts de l'Hôtel de Villeroy encore beaucoup plus ...


Day & Night Moon seen from Versailles




Day Moon over Versailles


Evening Moon over Versailles



Night Moon over Versailles




walking around the park just before Xmas 2013,
a friend of the Cremerie called "Day moon" gave us the idea
to take these Versailles Day Moon pictures
to complete the article ...
With the cold winter weeather the Moon was very visible in the sky.







Thank you for having read the entire article ...
You have been very brave, Dear Reader, to come to the end
(the article was a bit long).

You can think:
"this article is a bit crazy & funny,
these passages about detroction of the beautiful environments of Paris through real estate promotion,
these excursions through the early years of the Internet,
and now a walk on the moon ...
What a special way to write about a historic person that lived 300 years ago
It's almost written as if Louis XIV was still there ... ".

At least it's not a "past copy" of some information found
in a history book
... no on the contrary it's living since 20 years
on a magic spot
without even realising it at the beginning.

L'article aurait été différent,
disons plutôt il n'aurais jamais été écrit,
si nous n'avions pas pu communiquer
directement
ou indirectement (à travers des temoignages des amis communs)
avec les gens magiques
que ce lieu magique où se situe la Cremerie de Paris
a attiré vers nous.

Et ces recherches ont été fait pour la première fois
car jamais les liens les Villeroy et les Bourbon
ont vraiement été étudiés par des historiens.
Pourtant les Villeroy ont été si present dans la vie des rois de France et l'histoire du pays.

Ces recherches ont commenceés par hasard
car notre Cremerie a été très embeté en 2011
par un problème d'escalier,
un problème qui a donné l'idée de se transformer
pour une courte durée
en un centre d'exposition.

Non ce n'était pas par hasard il y avait déja des fondements
mais nous ne réalisions pas l'ancienneté et l'interconnection de tous ces liens.

.... est soudainement cette Cremerie s'est mis à découvrir sa propre histoire.
certaines choses ont seulement été réalisées en écrivant cette article
comme si l'âme de Louis XIV était toujours présente quelque part dans nos murs.



... seulement dommage qu'on n'ait pas pu croiser les enfants en train de jouer dans la cour.
