There did seem to be an indication that at one time there were many other nurseries in Versailles. There was also some reference to having for a short time a larger gardens facility in La Chesnay.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03894651289037073128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424131704277823220.post-33303216557539658562013-09-24T06:56:42.424+02:002013-09-24T06:56:42.424+02:00@Blaze, There WAS something that smacked of fate ...@Blaze, There WAS something that smacked of fate in all this. :-) <br /><br />@Tim, Oh my that is GOOD news. Thank you for digging it up. And thank you for the photo. I will add it to the post.<br /><br />Yesterday morning my father and I walked around the area to see what we could see. The Roseraie apartment complex is a gated community (need a code to get in) but, funny thing, someone left the gate open and so we slipped inside. The pool in your picture is still there and I got to see the back of my garden wall - that thing is about 2 feet thick and has a tile roof. <br /><br />When we left we got caught - can't get out of the complex without a code. We had to wait until someone showed up to let us out. <br /><br />Then we walked further down the avenue de Paris to a dead end street called the Impasse Saint-Henri. Thise big house-like structure you see in your photo - a few of them are still there.Victoria FERAUGEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16319699673885400472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424131704277823220.post-27541326504048323232013-09-24T06:17:18.612+02:002013-09-24T06:17:18.612+02:00As they say, "whodathunkit?".As they say, "whodathunkit?".bubblebustinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01789474207408205280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424131704277823220.post-89177482001461787472013-09-24T04:54:06.082+02:002013-09-24T04:54:06.082+02:00Here is another picture you might want to take a l...Here is another picture you might want to take a look at.<br /><br />http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Versailles_-_Roseraie_G._Truffaut.jpgTimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03894651289037073128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424131704277823220.post-19723304650926884832013-09-23T19:42:50.178+02:002013-09-23T19:42:50.178+02:00Victoria,
