Marie Antoinette's Estate & Trianon Palaces

About this experience

Marie Antoinette's Estate & Trianon Palaces Tickets Marie Antoinette's Estate and the Trianon Palaces offer you a rare glimpse into the private world of French royalty at Versailles. These intimate palaces served as retreats from court formalities, where kings and queens could escape the rigid protocols of palace life. You'll explore the Grand Trianon, commissioned by Louis XIV in 1670 as his private escape, and the Petit Trianon, which became Marie Antoinette's personal sanctuary. Your ticket grants access to beautifully preserved royal apartments, the picturesque Queen's Hamlet with its working farm and rustic cottages, and extensive French gardens. The Coach Gallery displays restored royal carriages, whilst temporary exhibitions bring French history to life through carefully curated displays. These palaces showcase the personal tastes of their royal inhabitants, from Louis XIV's elegant colonnade at the Grand Trianon to Marie Antoinette's simpler, more intimate rooms at the Petit Trianon.
