My wife and I revisited the Petit Trianon. The
great motivation was not only to review the unique character of the building
created by Gabriel and the personal touch that was given to the interior by
Marie Antoinette for her "private" life, far from the suffocation of
the Versailles ‘etiquette’ with its
decadent rituals and permanent intrigues. Above all, I intended to revisit the
unique ensemble of the Hameau, "village" now correctly restored with
"patina" and respect for material imperfections and scars of time.
Unfortunately, I couldn't see the restored large
room inside. Only possible to visit by appointment. But I leave here some
images of this interior in the second section of this post concerning the village of Le Hameau de la Reine.

What a perfect personal microkosmos Marie
Antoinette has created. What a unimaginable shock of reality when the ‘canaille’
was suddenly shouting at her gate. When
Louis XVI woke up after the attack of the Bastille, he asked: Une revolte?!? No
Sire, La Revolution!
