The Queen’s Hamlet is a palace disguised as a peasant’s cottage hidden in the Versailles gardens. A romantic hide-away, Marie-Antoinette conceived it as a reminder of her carefree youth in Vienna. The Revolution left it for a ruin. 230 after its construction, it reopens to the public, restored to its original glory, as an extraordinary jewel of Versailles.
