Summary
Description
When people think of Versailles, they usually imagine a magnificent palace and extensive formal gardens. However, were you aware that there is also a lesser-known third section? This comprehensive ticket grants you full access to the Hameau de la Reine, where Marie Antoinette had her own private retreat and enjoyed pretending to live like a simple village woman.
The primary palace and its gardens are unbelievably lavish. It features over 700 rooms, artwork from 18th-century France, a theater, and a hall of mirrors that stretches 75 meters, adorned with statues and sculptures.The royal gardens boast an array of luxuries and whimsies that were indispensable to a European monarch: perfectly maintained lawns and elaborate baroque fountains.However, that's not the end of it, Marie Antoinette also possessed her separate estate apart from the primary palace. These estates were situated close to the Grand Trianon and Petit Trianon, which were already present at the periphery of the estate. Her charming village was later called The Queen's Hamlet, and it was a functioning village in its own right!
Exploring this grand palace, that is suitable for even the most extravagant kings and queens, can make you lose track of time and feel envy towards the wonderful architecture!
