 This is the bedroom of the five Queens. Five women were raised here who went on to be influential and powerful wives of kings.

 The ceiling is very detailed.

 This is Louise Lorraine's bedroom. She heard about her husband, King Henri the third, dying here and turned it into a convent. She also wore white, the color of morning, until her death.

 It has images of the royal cornet issuing tears and the symbol of death as a repeating motif here.
