The Queen’s Hamlet is a palace disguised as a peasant’s cottage, tucked away in the gardens of Versailles. This romantic retreat was conceived by Marie-Antoinette as a nostalgic homage to her carefree youth in Vienna. Left in ruins by the Revolution, it has now been meticulously restored to its original splendor. After 230 years, it reopens to the public as an extraordinary jewel of Versailles.
