  • Office, the former serving gallery of King Louis Philippe's family dining room, which was partitioned and used as an office of the count of Paris in the late 19th century, in the Chateau d'Eu, in Eu, Normandy, France. Connected to the basement kitchen by a service staircase and a dumb waiter, it was originally used to prepare dishes, serve the dining room and to wash and store food and crockery. The chateau was begun in 1581 by Henri de Guise and Catherine de Cleves and finished in 1665 by Anne-Marie-Louise d'Orleans, the Grande Mademoiselle. In the 19th century the chateau was a royal residence of King Louis Philippe. The chateau houses the Musee Louis-Philippe and is listed as a historic monument. Picture by Manuel Cohen
