Dreaming of Jean de La Fontaine - Hotel de L'Ecu de France (Malesherbes/FR)
Dreaming of Jean de La Fontaine. Wall decoration reminiscent of the stories and drawings of the fabulist and poet Jean de La Fontaine, one of the literature and arts guests at the nearby château Vaux-le-Vicomte. From the time of the playwright Molière, they were among the artists close to Fouquet. This presentation, with the paintings on canvas in the hallway among huge artistic mirrors must have been stunning to see in brandnew state and years after, nowadays it shows signs of the passed history and maybe it should be renovated to restore it into it's full former glory just like I tried with this photographic version. Anyways, a nice thought for a good night dream.
Photo August 2022, Logis Hotel de L'Ecu de France (1624) after 398 years in time.

Hotel de L'Ecu de France - Interior
The Hotel de L'Ecu de France (est. 1624) is owned by the fourth generation of a family. Many traces of a long history, even with stables where people used to travel by horse and carriage. Started as a "Relais de Poste" and remembered by visitors as Charles de Batz, better known as the famous Musketier d'Artagnan. Today a simple but welcoming hotel with restaurant where travelers still enjoy a pleasant stay.
