by Louis Constant Wairy

Excerpt from Memoirs of Constant, the Emperor Napoleon's Head Valet

The Versailles plan must be attended to. M. Fontaine has submitted a reasonable one, costing six millions, but I do not find any lodgings specified, nor the restoration Of the chapel, nor that of the theatre. NO plan for their develop ment would seem to have been made. According to this scheme, the Emperor and the Empress have got lodging; but that is not all — the point is to find out how many apartments for Princes, State Officials, and other dignitaries could be provided for the same sum.
