This is Jamie & Claire’s paris Apartment courtyard. Behind these triple arches were two wall fountains and a center bronze colored door. This was the look for apt court, when the court played as the market entrance to Master Raymond’s Apothecary the fountains and bronze door and the walls they are attached to were removed and the set for the entry to the Apothecary were prebuilt and standing behind the fountain walls. As I have said before everything gets used and reused and reworked to save money and time.

This photo shows how we dressed up the court for vendors selling their wares, I think this was for the scene where they are getting ready for the big dinner party with Bonnie Prince Charlie.

This photo show the arches that lead to exterior front door of the Apothecary entrance. To save money we built the entry into the Apothecary in same court as the Jamie & Claire courtyard. The walls behind the arches had two different looks and the court would be redress for each. I will show photos of that soon.

A behind the scenes shot of the Jamie and Claire’s carriage and horses in the court. One of the main reasons I wanted to build the courtyard was so that the directors and directors of photography could show Jamie and Claire enter the court and then follow them thru the front door and up the grand staircase and right into their Paris Parlor.
