A visit to the exhibition can be combined with the town walk In the footsteps of Louis.
We look for traces from the reign of Louis XIV.  Stately mansions that were influenced by French architecture show that the impact on the local townscape was fundamental.  Various French styles such as late baroque, elegant rococo, Louis XIV and Empire are elaborately discussed referring to a number of striking examples. A nice way to get acquainted with some little-known 18th century heritage.

But there is more than only architecture on the program.  Also the spirit of the age, the political and social situation and everyday life in the 18th century are evoked in fascinating popular stories.
