Hofleveranciers in Nederland - Purveyors to the Royal Household in the Netherlands. A designation awarded by His Majesty the King on the recommendation of the Minister of Economic Affairs.

 

Its history goes back to the 17th century. At that time, it was common for suppliers to the court of the Dutch monarchs to be entitled to the title of Purveyor to the Court. In the 19th century, the title of Purveyor to the Court was also awarded to companies that did not directly supply the court, but did make an important contribution to the economy or society. Nowadays there are more than 700 companies in the Netherlands with the designation of Purveyor to the Royal Household. These companies are active in various sectors, including catering, retail, industry and services.

 

The designation of Purveyor to the Royal Household is a valued quality mark. It indicates that the company is a reliable partner with a long history and a good reputation. To qualify for the title of Purveyor to the Royal Household, a company must meet the following conditions: the company must have existed for 100, 125 (or a multiple of 25) years, occupy a leading position in its region and have a good reputation.

Vaux-le-Vicomte (Est.1658) - a baroque French château on a 33 hectares (100 acres) estate with formal gardens along a three-kilometer axis. Built between 1658 to 1661 as a symbol of power and influence and intended to reflect the grandeur of Nicolas Fouquet, Marquis de Belle Île, Viscount of Melun and Vaux, the superintendent of finances of Louis XIV.

 

The château was an influential work of architecture in mid-17th-century Europe. The architect Louis Le Vau, the landscape architect André le Nôtre, and the painter-decorator Charles Le Brun worked together on this large-scale project. This marked the beginning of the "Louis XIV style" combining architecture, interior design and landscape design. Their next following project was to build Versailles.

Captain Hook's Pirate Brig - an impressive ship next to Skull Rock on "La Plage des Pirates" at Adventure Isle. Under command of pirate Captain James Hook.

An iron hook replaced his severed hand, which gave the pirate his name.

Sleeping Beauty Castle - completed in 1992, for the park's 12 April opening, Le Château de la Belle au Bois Dormant stands 50 meters (160 ft) tall. The Castle is home to a dragon, which, at 27 meters (89 ft) from head to tail, was the largest Animatronic figure yet built when the park opened in April 1992. The walkthrough attraction consists of a dimly lit cavern with the large dragon sleeping silently. Occasionally it will 'wake up', puffing smoke and growling. The building also contains La Galerie de la Belle au Bois Dormant, a gallery of displays which illustrate the story of Sleeping Beauty in tapestries, stained glass windows and figures. La Boutique du Château, a shop selling Christmas ornaments year-round, and Merlin l'Enchanteur, a shop specialising in handmade glass figures, are located on ground floor.

Tom Thumb stealing the Seven-league boots of the Ogre. Tom Thumb in the Efteling is based on one of the eight fairytales published by Charles Perrault "Le petit Poucet" in "Histoires ou contes du temps passé" in 1697. The scene, designed as "Klein Duimpje", is since 1998 in the Fairytale Forest. Tom Thumb is stealing the Seven-league boots of the sleeping ogre. To call Tom Thumb, you have to call his name in a hole of a wooden log.

 

Seven-league boots are an element in European folklore. The boots allow the person wearing them to take strides of seven leagues per step, resulting in great speed..

Attractive Lemax Christmas Village decorations, plenty of choice and in various themes. Old Dutch scenes, British Dickens period, even American- and German themes and more in a multitude of houses, figurines, trains, sparkling lights and a colorful collection of sounds do the remaining rest. The shops use huge displays attracting lots of customers. A nice activity for some weeks to create your own street or village entirely in Christmas and winter atmosphere, often decorated with lots of snow.
