Stephenson:Neal:The Confusion:123:La Dunette (Neal Stephenson)

From the Quicksilver Metaweb.

La Dunette has been mentioned earlier in the book but this is the first time we see it, so here's where I'll put the hook for the annotation.

This estate, like the Arcachon family, is completely fictitious. It's based on similar estates that were constructed in the vicinity of Versailles by some of the great families of the era.
