Author Melanie Clegg has an intriguing post on the Palais Royal, Parisian seat of the Orléans family and the childhood home of the first Queen of the Belgians, Louise-Marie. This place has been the scene of orgies, of treacherous plots; yet, among these fabled arcades, a pure young soul came to maturity.
Dedicated to the monarchs of Belgium, and other topics of historical, cultural, human, political, and religious interest.
