Explore the Trianon Estate

The Grand Trianon

Built in 1687 under the orders of King Louis XIV, the Marble Trianon was originally intended as a private retreat for the King and his secret wife, Madame de Maintenon. Its elegant façade, adorned with pink marble panels, is a testament to its unique architectural style.

The Petit Trianon

The Petit Trianon, a Neoclassical masterpiece, was built for King Louis XV as a retreat where he could indulge in his passion for botany. In 1774, King Louis XVI gifted it to Queen Marie Antoinette, who hoped it would provide her with a peaceful escape from the pressures of court life. The Queen quickly made the Petit Trianon her own, transforming it into a personal haven.

The Queen’s Hamlet

A whimsical escape from the formality of court life, the Hameau de la Reine was a product of Marie Antoinette's fascination with rural simplicity. This idyllic village, with its quaint cottages, windmill, and dairy, was designed to provide a serene and educational environment for the royal children. However, the Queen often sought solace in this charming retreat, using it for strolls and intimate gatherings.
