The Trianons & The Hamlet (Le Hameau)
Chateau de Versailles, Versailles, France Phone: 01-30-83-78-00About
Take a peek into Marie Antoinette's favorite places to get away from the pomp of Versailles at The Trianons & The Hamlet (Le Hameau). Walk across the gardens or ride the petit train to reach the Grand Trianon decked out in pink marble. The Petit Trianon and the surrounding park reflect the queen's eclectic, free-thinking nature through their rural, rustic surroundings. Inside The Petit Trianon, see her modest bedchamber and simple furnishings. At Le Hameau, survey the ill-fated queen's retreat overlooking Grand Trianon Lake, where the environment stands in stark contrast to the formal gardens at Versailles.
