Versailles - The Hamlet

By far Marie Antoinette's Hamlet is my favorite part of Versailles.  It is off the beaten path and I love the whimsical architecture.  It was built for her in 1787 by Richard Mique on the grounds of the Petit Trianon.
Here is a little tour.

  1. Beautiful pictures!! Alan definitely wants to go to Versailles when we go to Paris, so hopefully, we will be able to check out this hamlet in person some day soon.

    Hope the strike isn't impacting you too much...

  2. I am SO jealous! Glad you are having such a great time. I have no doubt that the strikes will just add to the adventure for you!
