I agree that the view is northerly, therefore left is west!
Perhaps the French see it differently?
At Versailles Louis XIV's bedchamber is at the very centre of the
architectural complex, which is aligned lengthways more or less on a
north-south access. The Basin of Apollo, the Sun God, shows him
rising out of the ocean, the rising sun whose path passes over the
Sun King as he awakens. Unfortunately the basin is in the west, not
the east.
So perhaps the French do see it differently. Maybe that explains why
they drive on the wrong side of the road.

If the king's bedroom windows face out towards the Basin of Apollo in
the west, it would be lit by the rising sun. May not be as screwed up as
some people think.
