Thanks for the picture. The castle looks brand new. Can you believe in what a bad state the castle was three months ago.

Was it really just three months ago since this started!?

It seemed a lot longer than that.

Yep, I noticed how bad things were getting during the 10th anniversary. By the 15th, aweful. Thankfully she is starting to look great again.

Scarfolding is down, yes, but the work isn't finished. If you enlarge all the pictures taken bij InsideDLParis, you'll see that there is lots of work to be done, even on the spots that were previously behind the tarps. Not all of it is refurbished, but now they don't need the scarfolding blocking the view for the guests. Work will continue till september on all sides. They are even repainting the Royal Castle Stage!

That picture shows the front side of the castle. I thing the back of the castle is still under scaffolding.

Looks great. It's almost worth booking a holiday just to be able to take photos of Sleeping Beauty Castle looking immaculate. When was the last time it looked this clean?

It does look rather amazing already, I really love the blue roofs now, they are just a lot nicer and bolder than their old colour. Not 100% sure about some of the pink, but sure it looks better in person

I think they've cheated with those photos, because they look like they've been touched up.

But still, it's really beautiful!

By the way, I recently made a web app for comparing photos. I'll post it here if anyone wants to use it to use compare the old colour scheme to the new one.

The blue does look amazing. I warned my wife that newly painted castle + my new camera = 2 hours of photos from every angle at different zoom levels :thumbs:

ooooo I'm excited!!

It simply looks stunning!! The new blue and the pink colors are working together to perfection.

I cannot wait for my end of july trip now - my camera will be soo tired!

I agree - it looks like especially the blue colors have been given an extra kick in saturation, but what the **** it just helps showing how beautiful it has become
