Restauration du Salon de Mercure

27/01/12 - Restauration - Versailles, Château - A l’occasion de la conférence qu’a tenue Catherine Pégard hier, 26 janvier, à Versailles (voir la brève du 26/01/12), nous avons pu visiter le chantier de restauration du Salon de Mercure, qui devrait s’achever en juin 2012, après dix mois de travaux dirigés à la fois par la Conservation du château de Versailles et par le C2RMF, pour un budget de 750 000 euros (ill. 1 et 2).
