I'm thinking that I was standing about where Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette knelt on the day of their marriage. Actually, it was probably closer to the alter, but I didn't take a picture from up there. Madame Royale was baptized in this chapel. I only know of a few of the many significant events that took place here over a couple of centuries. Researching them all could be an interesting life's work. I like that it's designed so that the alter sits somewhat as an island, with space behind it, rather than completely up against the wall.
