Le Grand Salon at La Colombe d'Or
Le Grand Salon
Le Grand Salon de La Comtesse is a beautifully restored French Ballroom from the estate of the Count and Countess Greffulhe
Originally carved for French Royalty, Circa 1715, the oak panels were installed in 1891 in the country estate of Comte Henry Greffulhe near Foutenailles, outside Paris. As an architectural setting for the Salon of Princess Elisabeth de Caraman-Chimay, La Comtesse Greffulhe, this exquisite room was the scene of the supreme social and cultral flowering of the fin-de-seicle refinement. Le Grand Salon was the scene of the last great ball of European royalty prior to World War I. Guests of Le Grand Salon included Czar Nicholas of Russia, Caruso, Pasteur, Curie, Wagner, Marconi and Proust. Today Le Grand Salon is the ultimate old world European venue in Houston for weddings, seated dinners, and meetings
