It's a very different kind of operation. But a scalpel and some tweezers are needed nevertheless.Déborah is one of a team of restorers. They've been painstakingly bringing the Queen's apartments at Versailles back to their former glory.Today she's mending a piece of wall cloth. SOT DEBORAH PANAGET, Textile restoration expert"Once I've done all my stiches to fix the fabric and the threads, I'll put a piece of tulle in this spot - to protect the area where the door is opened and closed in the future"But its not just the walls that have been taken care of.Over the past 3 years, an army of experts have been buffing up the gilding, polishing the parquet and brightening the paintings. For one of the Queen's adjacent sitting rooms, the palace has called on the services of a master weaving company who've been used in the past.SOT CAROLE DAMOUR, Heritage Manager, Tassinari + Chatel"This damask is in Marie Antoinette's favourite apple green colour and it has these borders made of 2 different gold threads. You can see we've made it exactly as it was"And if you want to see where the Queen popped on her pyjamas and got 40 winks, the refurbished bedroom will open to the public on April 16th.

The song from the movie?
Happy House would have been better.
Although I appreciate Beauty and restoration. Talented people's craftsmanship . I cannot help feeling That the" Mecenat" that pays for this work is Tax Deductible. Frances 3 great Fortunes Pinault ARTEMIS;. Myers Heiress of L'Oreal. Arnault LVMH. They never lose money on these projects!
But France will get a lot of revenue from the tourism this brings in
@@sandhyachristine7173 I was just about to say people pay a lot of money to come see this. Beautiful. One day I'd love to visit
So not joke queen people Paris
What is the girl restorer doing with that door? You should have spent more time shouting the procedure. After all the video is about restoring and you do not show the actual restoring. The whole video should have concentrated on that. We already know what the Queen’s room looks like you could have avoided some of the shots so you could have showed more of the door restoring. Please learn what restoring intails.
Agree... I need a proper explanation
This restoration is done by the best of the best, you really think they going to show you the restoration details??? For this you will have to study restoration of the the 17 ,18 c in French art school! The best is for the best not for everyone!
The video is like 1 min long pal
