Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

In restauro, ma molto belle le gigantografie esposte nell'accesso

Jun 2016 • Couples

Trovato quasi per caso osservando lo sfarzo di una facciata barocca, attira subito perché nell'androne si notano delle gigantografie di colore rosso che illustrano la valenza di questo edificio e soprattutto la sua storia e le sue caratteristiche.
Questo avviene perché è in corso di restauro.
Le foto mostrano un capolavoro del Trompe l' oeuil grazie al quale il suo autore, Jean Daret, venne nominato pittore del Re da Luigi XIV.
E' l'epoca del primo barocco ( 1650) e le opere toccano il tema della mitologia greca.
Non è certa la riapertura.... si spera presto

Classic baroque

Jun 2018 • Couples

Рядом с институтом менеджмента находится этот отличный образец прованского барокко-особняк семейства Шаторенар с скромной зеленой дверью,на котрую не зня,и внимание не обратишь.А здесь сам король Людовик Солнце в 1660 году гостил у барона Жана Франсуа Аймара Альби,барона Шаторенара по названию их владений в Провансе.Замечательные росписи Жана Даре на потолке над лестницей,потрясающий интерьер,вход всего 6 евро.Только ради уникальных росписей обманок Жана Доре стоит зайти сюда;Бельгиец Жан Доре в 22 года приехал в Прованс в 1636 и остался здесь на всю жизнь,расписывал церкви и дворцы,потрясающий автор барокко

“Двор эпохи Барокко”

Jul 2015 • Friends

Гуляя по улицам старого Экса совершенно случайно забрели в очень интересный дворик с экзотическим садом, маленьким бассейном и фонтаном. (Фонтаны в Эксе практически на каждом шагу, недаром его называют Городом тысячи фонтанов). Позже мы узнали, что это - двор особняка Шато-Ренар (Hôtel de Châteaurenard) - замечательного памятника своего времени. Его строительство было закончено в 1650 г (архитектор Пьер Павиллон ( Pierre Pavillon) (1612-1670), автор и других зданий Экса (Мэрия, например)). Во времена Фронды в особняке баронов Шато-Ренар гостил и Людовик XIV/ Но главная достопримечательность особняка - росписи Жана Даре, придворного живописца Людовика XIV. Особенно, "лестница тщеславия" (лестница-обманка). Кажется, это был первый такой опыт в Европе - нарисованная лестница со скульптурами, интерьерами и т.д. К сожалению, главная достопримечательность особняка была закрыта на реставрацию, поэтому осмотрели только двор. Но посидеть на лавочке под сенью апельсиновых деревьев и бамбука, в жаркий день послушать журчание фонтанчика было очень здорово. Во дворе в настоящее время располагается также и информационное бюро (BIC - Bureau information culture). В общем, стоит заглянуть в этот дворик эпохи барокко
