Summary
Description
Ordered by Louis XIV in 1670, the Grand Trianon served as the perfect retreat from the formalities of court life – and a secret retreat for the king's romance with Madame de Montespan. In addition to the Trianon Palaces, Marie Antoinette's property also functioned as a secluded sanctuary. The Queen's Hamlet, a quaint garden village inspired by the Hameau de Chantilly, boasted its own farm, dairy, and mill!
