To escape the formalities and royal obligations of Louis XVI’s court, Marie-Antoinette created a private realm of pleasure for herself at the Petit Trianon and Hameau, where she planted the first Anglo-Chinese garden; created a trysting grotto; a working farm; and revolutionized architecture and gardening trends for the century to come. Marie-Antoinette’s entire private domain and its story are told in beautiful photographic detail by François Halard for the first time since its recent restoration and accompanied by well-researched texts by garden expert Christian Duvernois.

Represented in this book are her private apartments at Versailles, the Petit Trianon her little stone treasure, the Hamlet she created so that she could pretend to be a simple county girl, the opulent boudoir at the chateau de Fontainbleau, and the simple yet elegant laiterie at Rambouillet.
