Marie-Antoinette's Versailles

4.2/5 ( ratings)

Admired or hated, Marie-Antoinette continues to fascinate.
From her arrival in the Palace as Dauphine in May 1770 to her forced departure in October 1789, Marie-Antoinette shaped Versailles in her own image.
The only queen to have truly reigned in Versailles, she was familiar with all the restrictions and boredom of courtly life, the luxury, pleasures and scandals of royal privilege and the first stirrings of the Revolution. She invented an art of living that was both intimate and sumptuous by using the talents of the greatest artists of her time.
From the Grand Apartments to the inner rooms of the Palace, from the Petit Trianon to the Hamlet, the historian Cécile Berly takes us through the life of Marie-Antoinette and tells us about the places and events that featured the last queen of France in Versailles.
