George and Elizabeth Bathroom from 1938 |
These special and incredible bathrooms were originally designed for King George VI and his wife Elizabeth, for their stay in the palace during an official visit to Paris in 1938.
The inspiration for the design was Apollo, god of sun, and Diana, goddess of the moon. In reflection of such, the King’s bath has been outfitted in gold, and the Queen's, in silver.
This rooms are located in the Quai d'Orsay, in the building that houses the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Paris. One-thousand workmen and 37 companies were hired to complete the restoration, bathrooms included. Only in 2003 the two rooms were restored.
