This smaller pavillion is on the grounds of Versailles and was a favorite of the queen. It was also used extensively by Napoleon, and we found it decorated in the Empire style. Still aligned with the neo-classical tradition, but much more influenced by Egypt than the earlier classical style of the main palace.

Malachite - hence the name |
