Hotel de Vauluisant - Bleu in France



The Hotel de Vauluisant, built in 1564, caught my eye with its lovely blue details. Today it serves as a hosiery museum featuring stockings worn my the kings of France. ( Non, I did not visit). It also houses a museum of the history of the province. Worth a look if you get the chance to visit Troyes, France.
